62. opt value of 1.400 Å, rather than 1.388 Å as specified in ref 13. In addition, the reported HOMA value of 0.35 apparently was computed for the entire molecule (including all the benzene bonds) and not just the [16]annulene core.
63. 1 structure ca. 7 kcal/mol lower. These structures showed little evidence for aromaticity and were not pursued further.
64. 2 symmetry.
65. Benzenes were placed at positions where the HCCH dihedrals in the parent system were close to 0° to ensure that any loss of delocalization was due to the "Clar effect" rather than to changes in the dihedral angles.
