Each spin state geometry was optimized by G03 DFT B3LYP/LanL2DZ. Triplet state is 2.29 eV higher in comparison with singlet. Pentet state is 3.23 eV higher in comparison with triplet. Septet state is 2.55 eV higher in comparison with pentet. How realistic are our calculated results? Maybe somebody knows exact ab initio calculation results or experimental data? With best regards, Arvydas Tamulis c/o Vykintas Tamulis
