68. Our DFT calculations indicate that the vibrational frequencies of the neutral and cationic states differ only slightly, thus indicating a negligible Duschinsky effect in the ADT molecule.

71. We note that if only the transitions from the vibrational ground state (m = 0) are considered, the relative intensities of the vibrational transitions [Eq. (5)] are reduced to the standard Poisson distribution.

77. We considered possible dimers of anti-anti, syn-syn, and anti-syn isomers of ADT; in all cases, the resulting transfer integrals are similar.
