“…Politzer and Habibollahzadeh [11] calculated the bonding properties of sulfur mustard in solution using ab initio SCRF theory with Onsager's reaction field model. Donovan analyzed the mechanism of isotopic scrambling in CEMS (2) in the gas phase and in aqueous solution, and the stepwise mechanism, in which the cyclic sulfonium cation 1 is involved, was proposed [13]. In these studies, however, the structure of the cyclic sulfonium cation was not calculated in solution.…”
