Notes: Errors given in the following units: bond length (Å), bond angle (degrees), frequency (cm−1), ionization potential (kcal/mol), electron affinity (kcal/mol), heat of formation (kcal/mol), hydrogen-bond interaction energy (kcal/mol), conformational energy (percent error), reaction barrier height (kcal/mol). Average errors include none 37 density functionals considered in this work.
