63. 1 and the triplet states (all of which are the lowest states of their given symmetries, and described well by a single-reference approach), the more expensive EOMEE-CCSDT approach has been used for the excited singlet states. In determining the vertical energies V0I for these states, the EOMEE-CCSDT energies at the anion geometry are used, with respect to the full (and much more expensive to calculate) CCSDT energy of the anion. However, reoptimization of the anion was not performed. The energy differences are the EOMEE-CCSDT energies of the excited singlets relative to the CCSDT energy of the anion, but both calculations are done at the CCSD(T) anion geometry. Similarly, the normal coordinates used in the calculations are the CCSD(T) normal coordinates for the anion in all cases. Differences between CCSD(T) and CCSDT properties of the anion are not significant and in no way compromise the results of this work.

75. 3) which would be between them-is easily explained by the geometry shifts that occur upon electron detachment from the anion (see Tables).
76. 5 level.
77. 1 state.
78. 2 state, and its magnitude is actually quite similar to that obtained in the model Hamiltonian calculations.
79. 9 is the observed feature.
80. 2 state in the near-threshold region.
81. The stick spectrum and convoluted spectral profile make the assumption that the photodetachment cross sections for the two states are equal. However, when the results of the model calculation for the photodetachment cross section discussed in Ref. are taken into account, agreement between the experiment and the spectral simulation improves.
82. 2 level is heavily split by the vibronic interaction with its intensity spread out over a range of energy that takes away what would otherwise be a conspicuous peak.
83. 2 state.
84. 1 states.
