The experimentally determined enantiomerization barriers varied from 86.8 to 101.4 kJmol(-1) and were found to be in excellent agreement with the calculated data. The root-mean-square deviations are 7.3 kJmol(-1) for the B3LYP functional and 11.3 kJmol(-1) for the M06-2X method.}, language = {en} }
