55. 2). This observation also holds for the uranium system as well. However, the entropy contributions are calculated for gas-phase species. For reactions in solution, as in the present calculations, the translational, rotational, and low-frequency vibrational contributions to the entropy can be reduced. And as a result, the gas-phase free energies may overestimate the reaction barrier. For a recent discussion, see ref 38.
