54. - addition to acetylene, the geometries of complex, TS as well as the activation energy were found to be unaffected (<1.2% for geometry and 0.3 kcal/mol for energy) by addition of a diffuse sp function of exponent α=0.438 for carbon (T. Clark, J. Chandrasekhar, G.W. Spitznagel, P.v.R. Schleyer, J. Comput. Chem. 4 (1983) 294).
55. The B3LYP complex formation energies are closer to the CCSD(T) energies (-1.4 kcal/mol, Refs. [39-41]) than the MP2 one of -8.6 kcal/mol, since BHandHLYP/631A method too much underestimates the complex formation energy (+7.4 kcal/mol unstable than reactants). As to BHandH (Becke Half-and-Half), see: A.D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 98 (1993) 1372.
56. Boys and Bernardi's correction of basis set super position error (57.8 kcal/mol at the B3LYP/631A level and 52.1 kcal/mol at the MP2/631A level) much overestimates the effects due to short C(acetylene)-Cu bond. See: S.F. Boys, F. Bernardi, Mol. Phys. 19 (1970) 553.
