33. As a result of memory issues, the ground states were calculated with aug-cc-pVDZ, but excited state energies were calculated with cc-pVDZ and renormalized to their ground state energies.

42. We note that, in ref 45, DFT is used, and two peaks are seen in the conductance. The disagreement with our DFT results could be due to different basis sets.
