46. The actual wavelengths used for the different compounds are reported in the Experimental Section. They were selected in order to have the largest and fastest spectral variations.
47. The intensities of the spectra of the isomeric pure derivatives reported in ref. [14] are affected by an uncertainty of approximately 10-30% because of the complexity of the isolation procedure. Therefore such spectra cannot be used for a reliable comparison of their amplitudes.
48. The intensity of the couplet is related to the dihedral angle between the naphthalenes, see refs. [21] and [22].
