51. + with benzene is calculated. The first triplet state is found to have almost the same energy as the corresponding singlet state. Thus, considering only the singlet sate in investigating this system does not affect the final results.

57. The overall potential surface for nitrosation of benzene is shown in Figure S4. A shallow σ complex minimum is located at 1.70 eV over the Π/CT complex. This is the first time that a σ complex minimum for the nitrosation of benzene is reported. In some studies, (2, 29) only a σ-bonded high-energy transition structure that is due to migratory insertion of nitrogen into aromatic C-H bond was reported.
