29. The rotational strengths were calculated in the length and velocity representations. The resulting values are very similar, and the errors due to basis set incompleteness are therefore very small, or negligible. See: Stephens, P. J.; McCann, D. M.; Devlin, F. J.; Cheeseman, J.

34. 2O in the NMR sample should lead to a partial (or total) deuteration of the CH and Me groups, a feature that it is not experimentally observed. This confirms that the energy barrier determined is that of the rotation of the aryl group.
