36. The low-energy shift of the Co orbitals is more pronounced, the higher the metal character is. The HOMO of the cobaltocenium unit is therefore calculated to be of ligand type.

38. -1).
39. The orbital mixing coefficient, α, is defined as being positive; the particular phases in 1 and 2 derive from the fact that the two metallocene units are connected via the cp rings and not via a direct metal-metal interaction.
40. Co orbitals are admixed with ligand (cp) orbitals as in ferrocene and cobaltocenium, respectively (i.e., we are effectively considering subunit MOs).

43. The ED intensity of all of these transitions is the result of the admixture of ligand (cp) orbitals and the loss of inversion symmetry in the coupled system.
44. These values have been derived from the ratio of the coefficients of the pure Fe and Co d orbitals (see Supporting Information for these values) in the HOMO and the LUMO, assuming that these coefficients are proportional to the coefficients of the corresponding metal-ligand admixed subunit orbitals, in the sense of ref 29.

51. Since in dichloromethane solution the observed transition energies in metallocenic systems often show a stronger red shift than the expected one, this value has not been taken into account for the linear regression (ref 1g and references therein).
