68. Since the metal-carbon distance is much larger at the SCF level (2.35 Å) than at the correlated levels presented here (1.896-2.06 Ä), the bonding interaction between cationic copper and ethylene is probably underestimated at the SCF geometry.

75. The gradient lines do not convolute at the point of the atomic core as an indication of a pseudocritical (3,-3) point in the case of the metal. This is due to the use of the pseudopotential to describe the properties of the innermost electrons, resulting in an artificial decline of charge density near the metal core.
