Gibbs free energy of activation (ΔG, kcal mol−1), diffusion rate constant (kD, M−1 s−1), TST thermal rate constant (kT, M−1 s−1), Eckart-tunneling-corrected rate constants (keck, M−1 s−1), diffusion-corrected apparent rate constants (kapp, M−1 s−1) and branching ratio Γ (%) at 298.15 K for the FHT, RAF and SET mechanism of the rosmarinate mono-anion (RA) with CH3OO˙ radicals in water calculated at the M05-2X/6-311++G(2df,2p) level of theory. The values in parentheses correspond to the results obtained in the PEA phase.
