a

Energies are calculated at 0 K excluding zero point energy and thermal corrections. All numbers are given in kcal/mol.

b

Basis set is cc-pVTZ.

c

Basis set is 6-31G(d).

d

Heats of formation for H2 are calculated as −26 and −22 kcal/mol for PM6 and PDDG. To correct for this exceptional error, this value is set to 0.0 kcal/mol.
