12. Earlier study recommended the use of 6-311 g (3df, 2p) basis set in the conformation analysis of similar molecules. See: J. Leszcynski, L. Goodman, J. Chem. Phys. 99 (1993) 4867 We also found that the diffuse function does not significantly affect the calculated rotation barrier. In addition, we found that the zero point energy correction does not affect the conclusions from conformational analysis.
