In the two-layer ONIOM (B3LYP/3-21G*:AM1) method, the inner layer (in which the i-Pr groups on Ar* were replaced by H atoms) was calculated at the B3LYP/3-21G* level and the rest was treated as the outer layer with the semi-empirical AM1 method. For the AMI method, see: M. J. S. Dewar and C. Jie, Organometallics, 6, 1486 (1987).
