31. Ab initio calculations were performed with the Gaussian 98 series of programs. The computational method employed for the prediction of the IR bands was the hybrid density functional B3 LYP, which has been shown to provide vibrational frequencies with good accuracy. The Kohn-Sham orbitals were expanded with 6-311++G** to provide valence triple-ζ, diffuse, and extended polarization basis set. A scaling factor of 0.9656 was employed, as used to obtain the correct benzene modes calculated at the same level: a) R. Krishnan, J. S. Binkley, R. Seeger, J. A. Pople J. Chem. Phys. 1980, 72, 650;

38. The somewhat higher fraction of HD loss with respect to the statistical values that is observed for ions submitted to IRMPD may arise from kinetic isotope effects affecting the fragmentation process.
