All structures were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level of theory, characterized by frequency calculations and are zero-point energy corrected. In the case of homolytic bond cleavage reactions unrestricted calculations were carried out. CCSD(T)/6-31G* energies correspond to single-point calculations of the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) structures. These energies were corrected with the zero-point energies obtained at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level. For all transition structures IRC calculations were performed.
