Vinylsilane is produced from alkenes through the C-H σ-bond activation of alkenes followed by reductive elimination between vinyl and silyl groups.11b This means that the formation of vinylsilane does not necessarily provide evidence of the modified Chalk-Harrod mechanism.

48. In solution, translation and rotation movements are not completely free but are highly suppressed. This means that the thermal energy and the entropy deviate very much from the true values if we treat substrates as ideal gas. However, when we estimate the thermal energy and the entropy by considering only vibration movements, the values are underestimated, because translation and rotation movements are not completely suppressed but somewhat contribute to the thermal energy and the entropy in solution; for instance, the translation movement considerably occurs as shown by the rapid diffusion rate, and the rotation movement somewhat occurs in nonpolar solvent. Also, the solvation structure changes upon formation of the precursor complex, which contributes to the entropy effect. Unfortunately, we do not know how to estimate partition functions of translation and rotation movements in solution. One of the reasonable ways is to estimate thermal energy and entropy with and without translation and rotation movements and to compare free energy changes evaluated by two methods, as described in the text.

The effective core potentials and basis sets of the same quality as that of BS-I were used in the geometry optimization with the DFT(B3LYP) method; core electrons of Pt, P, and Cl atoms were replaced with the ECPs, and their valence electrons were represented with (311/311/21) and (21/ 21/1) sets, respectively.26-28 Electron populations were evaluated with the same ECPs and better basis sets, (541/541/111) set for Pt, while the same basis sets were used for Cl and p.26-28.31

62. (b) The translation and rotation movements are not completely suppressed but not completely free in the real solvent system. Thus, the true ΔG°‡ value is intermediate between these two values, -1.7 and 11.6 kcal/mol, where the latter value was estimated under the assumption that translation and rotation movements are completely free.
