25. See, e.g., Rösch, N.; Trickey, S. B. J. Chem. Phys. 1997, 106, 8940. and references therein. Because of error cancellation between neutral and anionic forms, and because the use of finite Gaussian basis sets effectively confines the unbound electron to a spherical "box", electron affinities for such systems are often quite reasonable:

28. We do not discuss the carbon dimer here because it is well-known to have a "pathological" multi-reference character and lessons learned from it are not directly applicable to the larger systems. See, e.g., Sherrill, C. D.; Piecuch, P. J. Chem. Phys. 2005, 122, 124104, and references therein.

57. - were shown. These values are not physically meaningful. Finite values will always be obtained for any choice of a finite real-space domain, as the "walls" of the domain limit the variational freedom of the Kohn-Sham orbitals. In a similar vein, finite values for polarizability of anions that are unbound within LDA can also be obtained with a finite localized basis set [see, e.g., Galbraith, J. M.; Schaefer, H. F., III. J. Chem. Phys. 1996, 105, 862]. As pointed out in ref. 21, these values are not physical either. Also note that the B97-1 calculation yielded a marginally bound electron and, to an extent, may be susceptible to the same problem despite its good agreement with the CC calculations.
