MO calculations previously performed on pentacoordinate TBP structures related to the experimental sulfonamidate system (refs 51 and 52) included significant geometry constraints (no full geometry optimization was performed on any of the intermediates or "transition states" explored), see: Graafland, T.; Nieuwpoort, W.

65. Many of the sulfuranes studied possess one or more pair of nonbonding electrons on sulfur which may significantly alter structure and dynamics relative to pentaoxysulfuranes.

81. endo were compared at higher levels to check the validity of conclusions at the lower level of calculation. At MP2/6-311+G**//HF/ 6-311G*, the sulfurane is -51.9 kcal/mol above the sulfate reactant, confirming the high relative energy of the pentacoordinate sulfur species.
