note = "Funding Information: This interpretation is consistent with other gas-phaselsolution anal~gies~{\textquoteright}~and serves as another demonstration that a smooth mechanistic continuum is followed for reactions occurring in both media. Tn the case of electrophilic substitution, a {\textquoteleft}Whel-and intermediate{\textquoteright} forms under conditions involving thermal reactant ions; the difference between low-and high-pressure conditions is that at low pressure the energy released causes it to undergo unimolecular dissociation.
