56. -13.9 kcal/mol in single-point PCM energy computations employing the RI-BP86/AE1-optimized geometries, AE2 basis, and the B3LYP hybrid functional. The binding energy of water thus appears to be not very sensitive to the functional employed.
57. + ion (which, in the gas-phase-optimized structures, formed two OH⋯ Cl interactions with the Cl atoms on the a-carbon), and the two Co - C bonds were constrained to 2.1 and 3.2 Å (mean values from constrained CPMD simulations at the last point in Figure 4), to prevent any formation, full or partial, of metallacycle 2 upon removal of the water in trans position.
58. In addition, a significant fraction of these binding energies, ca. 4 kcal/mol, is indicated to arise from basis-set superposition error (according to Counterpoise calculations, cf., Boys, S. F.; Bernardi, F. Mol. Phys. 1970, 79, 553-566), which further underscores the lability of the water ligands. It should be noted that the CPMD simulations with their periodic, plane-wave basis set do not suffer from this error.
