17. H2 process. 11 Instead, it involves a nucleophilic attack of an oxygen lone pair on the empty boron p orbital. The unpaired electron on the oxygen is not directly involved, but the boron-ligand bond aligned with the SOMO cleaves and the ligand leaves promptly. The mechanism was described as a nucleophilic homolytic substitution at boron.

20. Calculations were performed using B3 14 LYP 15 /6-311+G(d,p) as implemented in ref. 16. For radicals containing Sn, we used the averaged relativistic effective potentials of LaJohn et al. 17 with the accompanying basis set, which was used uncontracted.

25. It has been reported that "solvents capable of forming hydrogen bonds" retard the rate of reaction 2 for G = H. 4a This is to be expected because phenols containing intramolecular H bonds are capable of forming bifurcated intra/intermolecular H bonds, 19 which reduces the rates of H-atom abstraction 20 just as intermolecular H bonding reduces the rates of abstraction from simple phenols. 21 Fortunately, the experiments in question 4a were done in heptane, which is neither an H-bond donor nor acceptor, so the kinetic measurements should be directly comparable with the computed dynamics.
