Common density functionals such as the GGA used in this work do not account for van der Waals forces, which determine the correct distance between molecules. However, when the bonding distances are fixed at the experimental ones, this deficiency has negligible effect on the electronic dispersion that is mainly determined by the overlap of the electronic wave functions. 10.1103/PhysRevB.37.785
