43. This stabilization energy was calculated at the MP2(fc)/6-31G*// B3LYP/6-31G* + ΔZPVE level of theory because of problems that arise with B3LYP in highly substituted systems. See: a) S. Grimme, Angew. Chem. 2006, 118, 4571;

48. Given the large size of structures 4b and 5b (81 and 96 atoms, respectively), this energy was estimated at the B3LYP/6-31G* + ΔZPVE level from the following isodesmic equation: 4a + 5b→4b + 5a.
