In Tables 3 and 5, the units for entropy are incorrectly listed as kJ mol⁻¹. The correct unit is J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, and the correct tables are shown below.

Table 3 Activation parameters for the ethanolysis of diethyl chlorophosphate at different mole fractions of [bmim][(CF₃SO₂)₂N] in ethanol-d₆

χ [bmim][(CF3SO2)2N]	ΔH^‡/kJ mol^−1 ^a	ΔS^‡/J K^−1 mol^−1 ^a
a Uncertainties quoted are derived from the fit of the linear regression.
