29. Please note that the highest intensity of the band at ṽ=1540-1550 cm-1 is observed when the IR light polarization is perpendicular to the long axis of the crystal (similar to the dependence of the UV/Vis spectrum as shown, for example, in refs. [16] and [17]), which is in contrast to our previous report.[18] The polarization of the infrared synchrotron beam was incorrectly determined in the previous work.
30. Note that even in the case when the light polarization is perpendicular to the straight pore orientation, the intensity of the band at ṽ= 1530 cm-1 does not reach zero. This is due to a combination of two factors. First, it is reasonable to assume that the orientation of the molecules is not exactly parallel to the straight pores, assuming some tilting angle. Second, the entire volume of the crystal is probed in the transflectance mode. In some subunits of the crystals the orientation of the crystallographic axes differs from that in the upper subunit (for a description of the crystal architecture, see ref. [11]). However, relative contributions of these factors are hard to accurately quantify.
