27. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out with the RI-DFT version of the Turbomole program package, by employing the Becke-Perdew 86 functional. The basis sets were of SVP quality. The electronic structure was analyzed with the Ahlrichs-Heinzmann population analysis based on occupation numbers. Turbomole: O. Treutler, R. Ahlrichs, J. Chem. Phys. 1995, 102, 346;
