36. In spite of giving large differences in energy, the LSD and BP gradient-corrected approximations yield frequencies and assignments close to each other for single nucleic acids. For H-bonded pairs differences between the two schemes emerge, and the LSD scheme requires improvement.

55. In the absence of nuclear symmetry, a total of 3N-6 vibrations are obtained for each compound, where N is the number of atoms. With regard to the nomenclature in this work, a bending (wagging) movement is understood as an in-plane (out of plane) vibration.
