29. note We tried to perform the IRC calculation, but it failed in several cases here probably because of too flat of a potential energy surface. We ascertained that each transition state connects reactant and product on the potential energy surface by performing steepest descent geometry optimization starting from each transition state.

37. sol is neither Gibbs free energy nor Helmholtz free energy because it is the PCM-calculated free energy. Apparently, the PCM- calculated free energy is different from neither Gibbs free energy nor Helmholtz free energy, but it is called free energy because it involves the work necessary to build up solute in continuum solvent.
