For the electrochemical experiments, accurate absolute values
of the oxidation potentials and homolysis energies were re-
quired and so higher levels of theory were used, based on ex-
tensive benchmarking studies, including for alkoxyamine ho-
molysis energies,23 and nitroxide oxidation potentials and ion-
pairing energies.14, 22 All geometry optimizations and frequency
calculations were performed at the M06-2X/31+G(d,p) level of
theory. Entropies, thermal corrections and zero-point vibra-
tional energies were scaled by recommend scale factors.29 Im-
proved single-point energies were calculated using the high-
level composite ab initio G3(MP2,CC)(+) method, a variation
of standard G3(MP2,CC)30 where calculations with the 6-
31G(d) basis set are replaced with corresponding 6-31+G(d).
These high-level calculations where utilized in conjunction
with the ONIOM approximation31 for larger systems, with ei-
ther standard G3(MP2,CC) or UMP2 used to model remote sub-
stituents effects. The solvation model based on density (SMD)32
was used to relax gas-phase structures to the solution-phase (at
the UM06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory). Free energies of
solvation were then calculated on solution-phase geometries us-
ing the COSMO-RS model,33 using the ADF package,34 at the
BP/TZP level of theory (as it was parameterized for), and the
remaining parameters were kept as default values35. All stand-
ard ab initio molecular orbital theory, density functional theory
(DFT) calculations were carried out using Gaussian 0928 and
Molpro 201536 software packages.
