Calculated transition states for the fluorination of the isopropyl radical. a Free energy surfaces (ΔGsol-opt, in kJ mol−1) in DMF solution for the reaction of isopropyl radical (i-Pr•) with NFSI and b 4f calculated at the (RO)B2PLYP/G3MP2Large level of theory. Distances (in Å), NPA charges and NPA spin distributions have been calculated at the SMD(DMF)/(U)B3LYP/6–31G(d) level of theory. Free energies in solution ΔGsol-opt have been obtained by adding ΔGsolv[(U)B3LYP/6–31G(d)/SMD(DMF)] to ΔG298[(RO)B2PLYP/G3MP2Large//SMD(DMF)/(U)B3LYP/6–31G(d)]
