78. For the calculation of the energy of the species involved, these authors use a process where the atomization energies are calculated and implemented together with known heats of formation of the relevant atoms to obtain the heats of formation at 0 K.

82. 3 is under debate. While a commonly used explanation is that the Lewis acidity is a trade off between σ-withdrawing and π-donating effects, this has been contested by Frenking: (b) Bessac, F; Frenking, G. Inorg. Chem. 2003, 42, 7990.

86. We tested the possibility that HOTf may be preferentially released rather than hydrogen. We found that, thermodynamically, this is not expected.
87. It has been suggested that B3LYP may predict less exothermic reactions for dimerizations such as the ones described: Bissett, K. M.; Gilbert, T. M. Organometallics 2004, 23, 850. However, this was shown for only one example.
