{ Geometries were optimized at the HF/3-21G* level. The self-consistent
reaction field (SCRF) method based on the Onsager model9 implemented
in the Gaussian 98 program10 was used for the calculation in CHCl3.
§ Calculated free energy differences (kcal mol21) in CHCl3 and in vacuum
(shown in parentheses) are as follows: 1e?2d; 23.36 (24.26); 1e?2e; 21.81
(24.00); 1e?2f; 20.54 (23.57).
