a

Underline indicates the last decimal place of agreement. σ is typically given in nm or Å and is trivially converted. ϵ is shown under both common conversion methods, with Kelvin (K) and kJ/mol units, which requires Boltzmann’s and Avogadro’s constant, for which we have used 1.380649 x 10-23 J/K and 6.02214076 x 1023 respectively.

b

Significant figures (SF) rounding to 4 places converted from Berendsen et al.

c

High precision (HP) value converted from Berendsen et al.

d

Units in which the source provides.
