For each conformation, geometries were optimized, harmonic vibrational frequencies calculated and absolute energies determined using M05-2X density functional 1 in combination with the 6-31+G* basis sets 2, 3 and the SMD solvation model 4 with DMSO as the
solvent. Partition functions and hence entropies and thermal corrections to the energies were calculated using standard textbook formulae for the statistical thermodynamics of an ideal gas under the harmonic oscillator rigid rotor approximation (T = 298 K). Justification for the use of solution phase properties for this purpose can be found in reference 5. Approximate M05-2X solution-phase Gibbs free energies (G soln) could hence be calculated and compared to identify the most stable conformation for each species. The most stable conformation of the radical anion was used as a starting point to locate the transition state for the dissociation. For the calculation of redox potentials, more accurate values of G soln are required. These were obtained using accurate G gas results which were combined with free energies of solvation via standard thermodynamic cycles. Gas phase energies were calculated using a variant of the highlevel composite G3(MP2)-RAD level of theory, 6 where diffuse functions were included to give a better description of anionic species. All geometries were re-optimised using M06-2X 7 /6-31+G* for this purpose and gas phase vibrational frequencies were also calculated. Gas phase partition functions and hence entropies and thermal corrections to the energies were calculated, as described above, and combined with the G3(MP2,+)-RAD energies to give G gas. Free energies of solvation (ΔGsolv) were determined based on the solution phase geometries using SMD with DMSO solvent. It was also important to consider the geometric relaxation associated with solvation; this was approximated as the energy difference between the gas and solution phase geometries, calculated in the gas phase (Erelax). 8, 9 Solution phase free energies could hence be calculated according to equation 1: G soln(298k) = G gas(298k) + ΔGsolv Erelax + ΔG conc (1) where ΔG conc is the phase change correction, 7.93 kj mol -1. 10 To model the electron attachment process, the relevant calculations were performed on the radical anion at the optimised gas and solution phase geometries of the neutral RAFT agent. Translational, rotational and vibrational partition functions were assumed not to be affected by the addition of the electron; however, it was important to employ the appropriate electronic entropy and higher level correction for the anion. The reduction potential of the RAFT agent was calculated according to equation 2: E vs. SHE = -ΔG soln/f - E SHE (2) where the electron convention with Boltzmann statistics was employed, such that the free energy of the electron is -0.058 kj mol -1 and E SHE in DMSO is -3.96 V. 11, 12
Optimized geometries and energies for all structures investigated in this study are available in Tables S4-5. For all optimizations, vibrational frequencies were inspected to ensure that structures were stationary points of the correct order. T1 diagnostics and spin contamination values were checked where appropriate and found to fall within acceptable limits in all cases. Checks were also performed to ensure the same (lowest energy) electronic state was maintained throughout all calculations for sulfur-containing radicals. All calculations were carried out using either the Gaussian 09 13 or Molpro 2012.1 14, 15 software packages on the NCI National Facility in Canberra, Australia.
