aCalculated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. MOs are contoured at a surface value of 0.015 au. Each ELFπ surface is contoured at a level which shows the individual π-basins at a bifurcation threshold. See Reference 29 and also DOI: 10.1063/1.1635799. b See reference 33. cCalculated for the neutral system, as a 4n π-electron. See reference 34 and DOI: 10.1002/anie.198801851. dCalculated for the di-anion, as a 4n+2 π-electron system. e See reference 30a and DOI: 10.1002/chem.200601193.
