57. 2-CN complex, was found at this level (Table 1). This could be justified by the fact that complexes (7H and 7Hi) have comparable energies, and they are closely related geometrically, thus only one of them was located in a given basis set. In the larger basis set (SDB-cc-pVDZ), however, only 7H was located. This result supports the initial belief that 7H is the intermediate involved in the mechanism.
58. TS's are normally difficult to find for association and dissociation of ligands since it mostly involves entropic contribution, which cannot be calculated on the bottom-of-the-well energy surface. Here, it was found probably due to the relatively large geometrical change in the diazo molecule when coordinated to the metal.
