56. (a) Besides the case of 4-cyano-chlorobenzene, treated in details in ref 12, an indication that bond bending effects may play an important role is given in ref 11, where it is shown on the base of DFT calculations that the transition states are more bended than the initial state and that the activation energy calculated with no geometrical constraint is smaller than the activation energy with forced planarity (corresponding to a conical intersection). However, the comparison seems uncertain, if not inaccurate, since a single reference method was used in these calculations (B3LYP), as strongly emphasized in many cases when conical intersections are involved (see, for example, refs 14b-d).
