44. +, calculated (MP2/6-311G*) and experimental C-O bond lengths are 1.1201 Å and 1.1047 Å, respectively (ref 35). These fairly small discrepancies are typical of those found in much of this work; i.e., calculated C-O distances are about 0.01-0.02 Å greater than the apparently highest quality experimental values.
