14. [13a] There was no pronounced effect of the laser intensity on the measured decay kinetics. The non-first-order kinetics probably result from a multi-exponential decay resulting from different transient species absorbing at λ = 310 nm.
15. [13b] The transient lifetimes measured by us are somewhat shorter than those reported by Scaiano and co-workers. This result is likely to be related to the different solvents used (this study: freon-113; Scaiano's work: acetonitrile).

17. UB3LYP/6-31G with guess=mix should give a reasonable description of open-shell singlet biradicals. See, for example: P. M. Lahti, A. Ichimura, J. A. Sanborn, J. Phys. Chem. A. 2001, 105, 251-260.
18. The TS for this reaction was not located.
19. The use of unrestricted DFT [UB3LYP/6-31G] gave an identical geometry and energy for this TS.
