In principle, one should not speak of IV-CT bands in delocalized class III systems where neither charge is transferred nor two different valences are present. Although incorrect, we retain using this term because of the lack of a better one.

84. There have been many attempts in the literature to correlate redox potential splittings with spectroscopic data, see, for example, (a) de la Rosa, R.; Chang, P. J.; Salaymeh, F.; Curtis, J. C.

Crutchley et al. did not find a linear correlation between electrochemically determined resonance energies and energies derived from a Hush analysis for a series of transition metal complexes. However, the complexes were studied in different solvents and were not a homologous series.

91. + yielded an asymmetric charge distribution even when the geometry was restricted to be symmetric. Therefore, this electronic structure is not the correct transition state on the ET coordinate. As there is no way to force the wave function to be symmetric using Mopac97, we used the geometry of the neutral species for obtaining V.
