Table 4.

The A-A’ atomic energies (kJ/mol) of the atoms in the NH2 group of various compounds calculated using the (15,15) grid. If the hydrogens in a given compound are global-symmetry-related then their values are averaged. The total average value and SD (in brackets) for all the amine groups are given in the bottom row. Method: 2PDM-M/CCSD(T)/uncontracted 6–31 + G(d, p). The sum in the utmost right column is a sum of the absolute differences with respect to the reference compound CH3NH2
