13. 2 potential energy profile were obtained. The conformer with a smaller dihedral angle and a shorter reactive distance was assumed to have been obtained in the X-ray experiment. This conformer later appeared and was confirmed to be photochemically reactive.

16. 18 although the finally obtained structure for all the conformers was slightly different from that obtained with the COSMO model, the energetical ordering and energy gaps between the different conformers were confirmed to be the same.
