Table 1.

The test set of compounds used for benchmarking in this work. The six-letter codes refer to the Cambridge Structural Database identifiers. The coupling constant J is given when known. The ligands are encoded as follows: BIPhMe = bis(1-methylamidazol-2-yl)phenylmethoxymethane, DTSQ = bis(dithiodithiosquarato-S,S′) dianion, Et-HPTB = N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(N-ethyl-2-benzimidazolylmethyl)- 1,3-diaminopropane), ImH = imidazole, HB(mtdaR)3 = tris(mercaptothiadiazolyl)borate, HBpz3 = hydrotris-1-(pyrazolyl)borate, HO2CArMes = 2,6-bis(mesityl)benzoic acid, MBTHx = bis(N-methylbenzothiohydroxamato) anion, Me3TACN = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclonane, OEP = dianion of octaethylporphyrin, OEP = dianion of trans-7,8-dihydro-octaethylporphyrin, Piv = pivalate, “S2” = 1,2-Benzenedithiolato-S,S′ dianion, TAML = tetra-amido macrocyclic ligand,101 TMEN = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine, TMIP = tris(methylimidazol-2-yl)phosphine, TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, TTC = tetrachlorocatecholato-O,O′ dianion, XDK = acid anion of m-xylenediamine bis(Kemp’s triacid)-imide
