  1. All energies are given in units of kJ/mol H2. G4MP2 and G4 enthalpies are calculated at 298 K and 1 atm. We note that data for 1,3-diazine, pyridine, pyrrole, and phenol can be found in the supplementary information of the reference cited75. For species marked with an asterisk (*), the experimental dehydrogenation enthalpy was calculated from enthalpies of formations of reactants and products, obtained from the Pedley Dataset69. Errors are reported as the difference between experimental and computational values.
