  1. Baron Peters Susannah Scott S. Michael Stewart Mechanistic studies of peroxide activation by methyltrioxorhenium Gibbs free energy for mechanism in literature • more accurate results for equilibria • from mPW1PW91 than from B3LYP. • triple-x and 2f-polarized basis with • ECP needed for Re atom • previous mechanisms and calculations • for MTO+H2O2 reactions give DH‡ too • large and DS‡ too small [Gonzales et al., • J. Am. Chem. Soc. 129, 15794 (2007)] • water-assisted mechanism matches • expt; also explains rapid 18O exchange • activation parameters with CPCM • solvent and tunneling correction • derived HOO- concentration in water with • MTO and Lewis base like pyridine; also • derived HOO- catalyzed rate expression Gibbs free energy for water assisted mechanism B Peters, SM Stewart, and SL Scott, in preparation
