The authors regret that panel A of Fig. 4 in the original article was not complete as its right part, with results for the excited state labelled 1^1^B_2_, was accidently omitted. The missing part, with the topological analysis of the electron density, the 2D Laplacian of the electron density, and the natural orbitals of the 1^1^B_2_ state, is contained in the new Fig. 4 shown as follows.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
