53. Since H and tert-butyl ligands at the aromatic rings exhibit different electron-donating strengths, one might expect our calculations to show different energies for the TS of C-O bond formation. However, with the present QM/MM methods, only steric influences are considered at the interface between the QM and MM subunits.
