17. Diffuse functions were included in order to treat the lone pair properly: T. Clark, J. Chandrasekhar, G.W. Spitznagel and P.V.R. Schleyer, J. Comput. Chem., 1983, 4, 294.
18. NBO analyses were performed with the program NBO Version 3.1: E.D. Glendening, A.E. Reed, J.E. Carpenter and F. Weinhold. Quantitative analyses of hyperconjugation interactions between NBOs were obtained using the NBO Fock matrix deletion procedure.

20. The ππ S → T vertical excitation energies were computed using the Cl-Singles (CIS) method. This method, which is not always highly quantitatively predictive, is sufficient for our purpose insofar as relative excitation energies are researched: J.B. Foresman, M. Head-Gordon, J.A. Pople and M.J. Frisch, J. Phys. Chem., 1992, 96, 135.
