Fig. S3 Local minima of 2 and 3 in (B4, B6) space. Torsional angles are given in degrees. Minima are color coded by energy in units of kcal/mol. GEM marked by circle. Plot symbols: pink diamond: 0 – 4, green box: 4 – 8, blue triangle: 8 – 12, yellow box: 12 – 16, red box: 16 – 20. The GEM structure appears twice due to the symmetry of the molecule to rotation of the phenyl ring around the B6 torsional angle.
