The calculations were performed with the Becke3LYP density functional with the aug-cc-pVDZ† basis set, which was formed by omitting the diffuse functions from the H atoms in the full aug-cc-pVDZ basis set. The geometries were optimized with the use of anatytical gradients, and, for each optimized structure, the vibrational frequencies and intensities were calculated in the harmonic approximation.
