For different dipolarophiles, the corresponding cycloaddition was performed in a particular solvent (carbon tetrachloride or benzene) at 25 °C.30
For different dipolarophiles, the calculated reaction barriers and rate constants are values in a specific solvent (carbon tetrachloride or benzene), which was chosen according to what was used in the experiment.30

B2PLYP-D3/aug-cc-pVTZ-CPCM(solvent)//ωB97X-D/6-31+G(d,p)-CPCM(solvent).
In the experimental study, the reaction solvent was benzene for these dipolarophiles and carbon tetrachloride for the other dipolarophiles.30
