55. The dipole moment of ions is not uniquely defined. We chose the center of gravity as the origin of the dipole moment vector which is equivalent to the center of the bridge.
56. At the UHF level, all radical cations show strong charge localization at one triarylamine center and an asymmetrical structure. This broken symmetry effect is an inherent artifact of the UHF method.
