The measured barrier to rotation (13 kcal mol(-1)) is obtained only if an explicit solvent is included in calculations on a supermolecule model; the use of a continuum model alone predicts a barrier (9 kcal mol(-1)), considerably smaller than the experimental value.}, isbn = {0026-8976}, url = {://WOS:A1997YC60700010}, author = {Craw, J.
