31. 2-thioanisole complexes were found to be 7-8 kcal/mol higher in energy than ylide 21 and, hence, are not energetically competitive.

47. 2C· ··OO distance of about 2.0 Å leads from the weakly bound complex to the triplet carbonyl oxide. These stationary points are not present when the PBEPBE functionals are applied in the calculations. See the Supporting Information for additional structural and energetic details.
48. A second triplet conformer, in which the pyramidalization at C is opposite, has a relative free energy 1.6 kcal/mol higher; the activation free energy barrier is 2.3 kcal/mol relative to that of 22T.
49. The transition computed in 22S is thus analogous to the weak n - π* absorptions exhibited by simple aldehydes and ketones.
50. Additional excitations are computed at 425.2 nm (f ≈ 0.0003) and at 356.2 nm (f ≈ 0.005). A near-infrared transition with no intensity is also predicted at λ= 1217 nm (f = 0.0000)
