26. g symmetry could only contribute to the signal if nearly degenerate electronic transitions with different orientations of the transition dipoles would be available, but for the isolated MePTCDI molecule, this is not the case in our range of photon energies.
27. g, which therefore can be diagonalized separately. Each of these submatrices contains both external and internal degrees of freedom, so that after the diagonalization the eigenvectors can have a mixed character. To simplify the discussion in the main text, we have discussed the modes in terms of external and internal if we expect that the eigenvector is dominated by the corresponding contribution.
