117. Considering that the B3LYP functional was reported to be problematic in treating some transition-metal systems, we also evaluated the effects of density functionals in this study. All the selected species shown in the following table were fully optimized with the same basis set as B3LYP calculations. Solvation effects were calculated with different functionals (the evaluation of different density functionals were also performed in the previous theoretical study of ref 15). The results show that for the oxidative addition/reductive elimination pathway, different DFT methods give a consistent picture on the observed selectivity. As shown in the table below, all the density functionals predict that L1-Int3a′ is more stable than L1-Int3c, and L2-TS1a is more stable than L2-TS4b. Therefore, the theoretical selectivity is not dependent on the density functionals.
