15. When the substituents on silicon are sufficiently small, the ring-opening activation energy of the cyclo-trisiloxanes is lower than those of the larger siloxane rings, as the silicon atoms in the cyclo-trisiloxanes are rigidly held in a geometric configuration that closely resembles the transition-state geometry and favours attack by the catalyst.

Extensive computational studies of the siloxane potential energy surface have previously shown that disiloxane is extremely difficult to model accurately: the inclusion of electron correlation effects and the use of large basis sets possessing f polarization functions are necessary to obtain reasonably accurate results.

99. 3 (see Ref. [56b]), the X-ray structures of many open-chain siloxanes suggest the presence of linear Si-O-Si angles. Most of these compounds possess abnormally short Si-O bond lengths and crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups, in which the oxygen atoms lie across crystallographic centers of inversion. The majority of these cases can be considered to be crystallographic artifacts. Thus, linear Si-O-Si linkages need to be interpreted with caution. See C. Glidewell, and D.C. Liles J. Organomet.

106. A significant feature of the M-O-M′ bending PESs described here is that they are shallow potentials, and previous studies have indicated that the location of the minima in such shallow potentials can be very sensitive to the method of calculation. See Ref. [52a and b].
107. Comparisons of the calculated results with experimental geometries are made throughout the paper. It is important to emphasize that experimentally obtained geometric parameters are vibrationally averaged values, and the effects of such averaging can be substantial (See Ref. [52a]). If quantitative comparisons were required for these systems, it would formally be more appropriate to compare calculated vibrationally averaged angles with the experimental angles. Nevertheless, the non-vibrationally averaged angles reported herein correctly reproduce the experimentally observed ordering in angle size and may be applied in a qualitative study.

116. Procedure B, which only accounts for the total angular contribution to ring strain, results in strain energies that are consistently lower than those obtained using group-equivalent reactions (see Supporting Information). However, the trend observed using the group-equivalent reactions is correctly reproduced.

131. In principle, the endocyclic angles of a strain-free ring calculated using Procedure B should exactly match the equilibrium angles of the corresponding model compounds. However, the use of fitted potential functions results in strain-free endocyclic angles that vary slightly (<0.5°) from the model equilibrium angles.
