87. Unfortunately, constrained QM/MM frequency calculations at the capture transition states of 2 and 3 could not be performed. Therefore, we have not estimated the free energy barrier of capture from frequency calcultions of models 2 and 3.
88. The exception here is that the multiple time step procedure was not applied.

93. COSMO calculations have been performed on the pure QM model 1, using the gas-phase optimized structures of the π-complex, ethene and the metal alkyl complexes. Since, the cavitation free energy has not been considered, the value given (2.7 kcal/mol) is a high estimate.
