18. The basis set used for the calculation of the complex 2·Xe (LANL2DZ) leads to a large deviation of the calculated structure of 2 compared to the calculations performed with a 6-311 + G(d,p) basis set (e.g. the N-C-N angle varies from 135.5° for the LANL2DZ basis set to 145.5° for the 6-311 + G(d,p) basis set).
