43. Of course, with this aprotic/apolar solvent, the environmental effects are rather limited. Gas-phase test calculations have been peformed for II (oo) and II (cc). For the former, the CC distances in the gas phase are 3.725 Å instead of 3.731 Å in n -hexane. For the TD spectra of II (oo), the two first important vertical transitions are 347 nm (f = 0.08) and 302 nm (f = 0.36) in the gas phase but 346 nm (f = 0.12) and 305 nm (f = 0.54) in n -hexane. For the doubly closed structure, gas-phase simulations yield 444 nm (f = 0.26) and 360 nm (f = 0.94), whereas PCM provides 449 nm (f = 0.33) and 362 nm (f = 1.23). In short, bulk solvent effects seem to principally impact the oscillator strengths in the present case.

49. Note that, for the fully open form, two polymorphs have been identified by XRD (α and ? in ref 15), but the same molecular minima is reached after the PCM-PBE0 force minimization process.
50. The distance ranges in Table 1 are due to the presence of several molecules of slightly different geometries and/or to thermal effects that do not allow one to define only one bond length.
