33. For the cycloaddition between phenylacetylene and cyclohexadiene both a concerted and stepwise transition state can be located. This indicates that the lack of a concerted transition state is due to substituent effects in alkyne 1 and diene 2 that polarize the frontier orbitals.
34. Although counterpoise corrections do not alter the energy difference between syn and anti transition structures, the basis-set superposition error was estimated to be 2.5 kcal/mol for Syn-TS-1 and 2.6 kcal/mol for Anti-TS-1. 21. Grimme, S. J. Comput. Chem. 2006, 27, 1787.
