69. We have started from the B3LYP/6-31G(d) optimized geometry of H9. To fill the free valences that appeared in rings adjacent to rings D and F, we have placed hydrogen atoms with a C-H bond length of 1.07 Å. No further reoptimization has been carried out.
70. As before the unfilled valences produced by the removal of rings A, B, and C in H9 have been covered with H atoms using C-H bond lengths of 1.07 Å.
