61. We used Maple V release 5 for solving the secular equations.
62. For simplicity, we used quadratic potentials although it is well-known by the work of S. Nelsen that in some cases quartic augmented functions allow better simulation of the observed IV-CT spectra; see ref 41.
63. In the borderline case of infinitely small coupling the minima of the adiabatic and the diabatic functions coincide. With increasing coupling, the minima of the diabatic hypersurface move towards each other. We refrained from a numeric search for the true minimum positions as this is quite laborious and these points will not deviate much from the one of the diabatic functions as can be seen from Figures 2 and 4.

69. Bonvoisin et al. employed a more accurate band deconvolution which does not imply the same band shape and band maxima for differently charged species, see refs 5c and d. In our case, the bad signal-to-noise ratio as well as the fact that the IV-CT band strongly overlaps with a much stronger radical band prohibits this type of deconvolution. However, for weakly coupled species one can safely assume that the band shapes and maxima differ only marginally between differently charged species.
