161. In particular, the density functional methods appear to overestimate the stability of planar π-systems, resulting in an underestimation of dihedral angles and an overestimate of the rotational barrier. See refs 51e and 52.

163. The energy level of the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE) is -4.6 eV below the vacuum level (see Bard, A. J.; Faulkner, L. R. Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications; Wiley: New York. 1984). The oxidation potential of ferrocene is 0.67 V versus the NHE (see Wang, J.-F.; Kawabe, Y.; Shaheen, S. E.; Morrell, M. M.; Jabbour, G. E.; Lee, P. A.; Anderson, J.; Armstrong, N. R.; Kippelen, B.; Mash, E. A.: Peyghambarian, N. Adv. Mater. 1998, 10, 230). The HOMO/LUMO energies were determined using the Fc calibration against the vacuum energy level. The terms HOMO and LUMO are a convenient short hand since the actual energies correspond to states, not levels.
