42. The Gibbs solvation energy of nitrofluorobenzenes in typical protic and dipolar aprotic solvents was calculated based on the HF method with 6-31+G* as the basis set; similar results were also obtained from DFT calculation at the B3LYP/6-31+G* level.

47. Indeed, with the exception of lithium salts, the added electrolytes decrease the rate constant for the decomposition of σ-complexes, but the effect is not very pronounced. For examples, see: Fendler, J. H.; Findler, E. J.; Merritt, M. V. J. Org. Chem. 1971, 36, 2172-2176
