Green Chem., 2014, 16, 605–616 (DOI: 10.1039/C3GC41368C). Amendment published 1st April 2014.


Some information was incorrect in Table 1 (p.608) in the final published article.

The values of the free energies of activation (∆G) are incorrect in Table 1. Entries for reaction 47 and 48 are also missing. Previously reported values for every elementary reaction are erroneously shifted by a constant value.

The authors note that this shift does not affect the results and discussion as the discussion focuses exclusively on the differences of the free energies in different solvents that are independent of the constant shift.
Furthermore, the rate constants used in Table 2 and the microkinetic model were computed with the correct values of ∆G.

Please find below a corrected version of Table 1.
