60. 11-CP could not be located. The basis set superposition error introduced by this approach is expected to be small compared to the energy differences discussed here.
61. 11-CP (c.f. ref 20a).
62. It should be mentioned that there is a second conformation of 2 with the hydride in the apical position that is essentially isoenergetic for the small model system discussed here. However, this conformation will be destabilized for more highly substituted systems as a result of steric repulsion and is therefore not considered further.
