60. 2 stack because it is the only available sample containing only benzopurines and H-bonded x-pairs of a single type, which is expected to lead to a more regular conformation and optimized stacking.
61. 2, this comparison is less rigorous than that for the two other stacked systems because the structure is not composed of two identical pairs. For full consistency, one should calculate the spectra for both the isolated H-bonded pairs forming the structure and sum them. However, our approximation is satisfactory for qualitative indications.
