24. Hexagonal Mn is theoretically more stable than body-centered-cubic (bcc) Mn by 0.138 eV/atom. The calculated lattice constant a for bcc Mn was 1.207 Å, and for hexagonal a = 2.43 Å and c/a= 1.59.

28. 2 molecule was also created in order to calculate energies of formation, The intramolecular distance in the molecule was found to be 1.223 Å, in good agreement with the experimental value.
29. The most stable structure of CrN is actually an orthorhombic structure, but the NaCl-structure has also been reported in the literature, indicating that the energy difference between these two structures is not large. No stable mononitride is reported for MnN.
