65. It is well known that the substitution at the para position of phenylnitrene results in the delocalization of the spin density to decrease the zero-field splitting parameter D: J. H. Hall, J. M. Fargher and M. R. Gisler, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1978, 100, 2029.
66. It has been pointed out that DFT calculations have problems with cumulenes. For instance, Schreiner and Schaefer mentioned that comparison of geometries obtained using various DFT approaches showed good agreement with MP2/cc-pVTZ, CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ, and the experiment, but that DFT energetics displayed significant differences when compared to the explicitly correlated theoretical and experimental results. See: H. Lee, H. F. Schaefer, III and P. R. Schreiner, J. Phys. Chem. A, 2002, 106, 11923 . Also, concerning the limitations of DFT on open-shell singlet diradicals, see: T. Bally and W. T. Borden, Reviews in Computational Chemistry, ed. K. B. Lipkowitz and D. B. Boyd, VCH-Wiley, New York, 1999, vol. 13, p. 1.
