a

ISE in kcal/mol.

b

MICD in nA/T.

c

Two molecules involved in the ISE equation do not have an equal number of π electrons because the π system of the nonaromatic reference system is reduced/oxidized.

d

The system has 6π electrons. The electron is removed from the σ framework of the molecule.
