19. B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) refers to a density functional calculation performed using the B3LYP functional and the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. The B3LYP functional set is a combination of the gradient corrected Becke 3 parameter functional set for the exchange and the LYP for the correlation functional set. See: A. D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 1993, 98, 5648; C. Lee, W. Yang, R. G. Parr, Phys. Rev. B, 1988, 37, 785. We used the method/basis convention in the rest of this article.
