11. Note added after acceptance of this paper. A recent article (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 6938-6939) claimed the absence of HT in their study of 1-(2-naphthyl)-2-phenylethylene. Unfortunately, the authors overlooked the simple fact of the presence of two different HT processes in their compound, which in fact is not expected to provide distinguishable data between HT and OBF processes.
