Head-Gordon, C. Gonzalez, and J.A. Pople, Gaussian, Inc., Pittsburgh PA, 1995. Molecular geometries were fully optimized and vibrational frequencies were calculated as indicated. The absence of virtual frequencies ensures that the calculated structures are minima rather than saddle points. Zero point vibrational energies:
