31. In the literature, slightly smaller scaling factors of 0.9614 (Scott, A. P.; Radom, L. J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 16502) and 0.9613 (Wong, M. W. Chem. Phys. Lett. 1996, 256, 391) have been proposed. The factor of 0.97 has often given better agreement with experiment in our work on reactive intermediates, which were not part of the "training sets" used in the above studies (cf. e.g.; Pritchina, E. A.; Gritsan, N. P.; Maltsev, A.; Bally, T.; Autrey, T. ; Liu, Y.; Wang, Y.; Toscano, J. P. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2003, 5, 1010 or Bednarek, P.; Zhu.

48. -1 observed for 15. However, due to the different mode mixings which prevail in these different compounds, the positions of these IR bands cannot be directly compared.
49. The reason for the smaller activation energies for cyclization of naphthyl as compared to phenylnitrenes may be due to the fact that the naphthylnitrenes preserve an aromatic ring during this process, whereas the phenylnitrenes do not.
