Geometry optimizations of ground state molecules and transition states were carried out using the Spartan computational package (Wavefunction, Inc., Irvine, CA 92612, USA), with complete vibrational analysis; thermodynamic corrections to the enthalpy and entropy were adjusted to typical FVP conditions (1100 °C/0.1 mmHg).
