14. Since the isomerization takes place about the formally single bond C-N, one should refer to s-trans-NMTAA and s-cis-NMTAA conformations. However, to conform to previous works, we use the labels cis or trans determined by the relative positions of the two NMTAA methyl groups.

30. Energies and energy gaps oscillate during the geometry optimization and never converge, or if energy gap tends to converge the energy increases endlessly. This behavior has been found to be associated with highly sloped conical intersections.

32. Since the irradiation wavelength can be changed without removing the sample from the FTIR spectrometer, the concentrations in photoequilibrium for different irradiation wavelengths can be determined with high accuracy (and independent of any spectrometer drifts) relative to the value at 255 nm by comparing the peak-to-peak differences in the FTIR-difference spectra shown in Figure 1d).
33. Note, however, that the sample can be efficiently destroyed upon irradiation with an unfiltered low-pressure Hg lamp, which we attribute to excitation by light from the 193-nm line.
