68. Utilizing the STO-3G basis set instead of 6-31G* at the methyl moieties for geometry optimization and frequency calculation provides results of the subsequent total-energy calculation at the B3LYP/III+ level without loss of accuracy (see Table 5).

73. Note that experimental free-enthalpy values might differ from the calculated energies. For instance, the coordination of an additional ligand L′ to the metal center is an isokinetic reaction, i.e. the entropic contribution to the free enthalpy partially compensates the enthalpic stabilization. Solvation effects were not explicitly taken into account in our study because the molecules are too large. Furthermore, there is a basis-set-superposition error (BSSE), which is, however, expected to be very small since diffuse basis functions have been employed for energy calculations.
74. 3 is utilized and omitted the investigation of the latter isomer using the improved model.
