53. The transition state was not optimized here, since the rotation of the ethyl group would occur very easily.
54. This slightly negative activation barrier would arise from the fact that the transition state structure is slightly different among the DFT/BS-I, DFT/BS-II, and MP4(SDQ)/BS-II optimizations. However, the absolute value of the negative activation barrier is very small. Hence, the discrepancy would be very small, and therefore, it is reasonably concluded that the true activation barrier is very small and the ethylene insertion into the Rh-H bond can be correctly compared with the other elementary processes.
