26. The convention used throughout this paper is that a single structure number is assigned to each molecular structure. For the neutral species there will be no superscript, whereas cation radicals and anion radicals will be denoted by + and - superscripts, respectively.

29. The frequency of passage (f) is the inverse of the mean first passage time (τ), reported in ref 25. It is incorrect to refer to f as a unimolecular rate constant for CT as the trajectories are not given the opportunity to recross from the product to the reactant well. The model assumes infinitely fast deactivation in the product well.

48. It must be stressed that this isotope effect is dependent on the ratio of vibrational frequencies which drive the HT process, rather than on changes in Gibbs free energies of activation which result from differences in zero-point energy between the species. Changes in the Gibbs free energy are not expected to have significant impact on the SKIEs because the vast majority trajectories in this study have sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation barrier.
49. In fact, the systems treated in this manuscript are degenerate and should, therefore, display the largest symmetry effects on electron and hole transfer dynamics. As the energy difference between the donor and acceptor groups increases, significant vibronic coupling will take place, even if the donor is in the formally undistorted vibronic ground state. As a consequence, strongly exergonic charge recombination processes, such as those taking place in 9 (Figure 16), are even less likely to exhibit pronounced symmetry effects. In the case of a degenerate system explicit excitation of the symmetry-breaking mode is necessary.
