Notes. A visual representation of these data is available in Fig. A.1. (a)“DFT geom.” indicates the DFT level at which the geometries were optimized. In all cases, the ma-def2-TZVP basis set was employed. (b)“DFT” indicates that the energy was evaluated at the same level as the “DFT geom.”. (c)“SP” refers to single-point CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVTZ-F12 energy evaluations on top of the “DFT geom.”. (d)“err.” denotes the absolute relative deviation of “DFT” with respect to “SP”.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
