36. 24b Activation energies were corrected for zero-point energy differences (ZPVE) (unscaled) and thermal effects at 298.150 K. Vibrational analyses established the nature of all stationary points as either energy minima (no imaginary frequencies) or first-order saddle points (one imaginary frequency).
