21. Ground-state structure of MC540 was carried out using AM1 semiempirical calculations using the commercial package Titan, 1999 Wavefunction, Inc., Irvine, CA. The structure was allowed to converge and a single-point calculation carried out to obtain the molar volumes.
22. The cis isomer of MC540 is known to possess a transient absorption spectrum with a maximum that is red-shifted with respect to the trans isomer, see ref 7.
23. Although it was possible to collect what appeared to be a time-resolved rR spectrum of the first-excited trans state, it did in fact mirror too closely the ground-state trans spectrum obtained using the negative time delay. The spectrum collected at long time delays (∼2 ns), which was first identified as the ground-state cis isomer, turned out to be the inverse mirror image of the ground-state trans isomer. It is known that the cis isomer is photolabile and so the spectrum is likely to be the result of over subtraction of the negative time delay data.

28. In other cases ground-state and transient rR bands have been shown to be sensitive to soluie-solvent interactions and manifest in alterations in shifts and band intensities; see for example: Zhao, X.; Kitagawa, T. J. Roman. Spectrosc. 1998, 29, 773. Treffert-Ziemelis, S. M.; Kincaid, J. R. J. Roman Spectrosc. 1994, 25, 893.

35. Because of the difficulty in carrying out the experiment to obtain the cis isomer fluorescence, the real data spectra (as shown) contained a poor signal-to-noise ratio. For a better visualization of the bands the fitted spectra are hence shown as well.

45. This value is only an estimate because the expression used is oversimplified and does not take into account the frictional boundary factor (f) or the solute molecular shape factor (S). It is conceivable that the "stick" limit J is high for MC540 in protic solvents because H-bonding solvents will interact strongly with the molecule. It should also be noted that because of the oversimplification of the DSE expression, the derived microviscosity value is only an approximation and should not be taken as definitive.
