30. All structures were fully optimized by analytical gradient methods using the Gaussian98 and Gaussian03 suites27 and density functional (DFT) calculations at the 6-31G(d) level, the exchange potentials of Becke28a and the correlation functional of Lee, Yang, and Parr.28b Activation energies were corrected for zero-point energy differences (ZPVE) (unscaled) and thermal effects at 298.150 Kelvin. Vibrational analyses established the nature of all stationary points as either energy minima (no imaginary frequencies) or first order saddle points (one imaginary frequency). Solvation effects in acetonitrile (ε = 36.64) utilized PCM27 methodology.
