    Abstract

    The molecular properties that combine to determine the extent of mixing in the electronic states of the cation radical and hence the spectrum of this species were calculated. This involves a combination of calculations performed for either the fully localized or fully delocalized limits, but the combination of the parameters through vibronic coupling calculations to predict the spectrum.
