61. Calculations have been performed at the density-functional theory (DFT) level (for a review, see: Parr, R. G.; Yang, W. Density Functional Theory of Atoms and Molecules; Oxford University Press: New York, 1989) within the resolution-of-identiy (RI) approximation

63. using the BP86 functional and a polarized split-valence (SVP) basis (Schäfer, A.; Horn, H.; Ahlrichs, R. J. Chem. Phys. 1992, 97, 2571). The quantum chemical program package TURBOMOLE (Ahlrichs, R., et al. Universität Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe; for details see http://www.turbomole.com) has been used for these calculations.
64. Calculations have been carried out at the density-functional theory (DFT level) using gauge-including atomic orbitais (GIAOs, see London, F. J. Phys. Radium 1937, 8, 397;
65. Wolinksi, K.; Hinton, J. F.; Pulay, P. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 8251) in order to ensure gauge-origin independence of the results. The calculations have been performed using a recently developed linear-scaling code
