Abstract

A geometry error for the neutrals has been corrected. Energy values should be: o-methylanisole, −378.884 38 au; mmethylanisole, −378.885 14; p-methylanisole, −378.884 21. The uncorrected proton affinities, by comparison with the energies of the most stable protonated forms, are 245.3,249.7, and 246.7 kcal/mol, respectively. As the text indicates, these values must be expected to be larger than experimental values. We thank Professor Warren J. Hehre for pointing out the discrepancy in our original results.
