J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2016, 7, 1821, 10.1021/acs.jpclett.6b00637. n the introductory section of our article, we state that “the electronic transition from the S0 state to the S1 state is never directly observed in Crts”, which is incorrect. In fact, the observation of this forbidden transition in deoxyperidinin in organic solvents has been very recently reported by Greco et al.1 prior to our publication.
