19. The geometry optimizations of HKrKrF at CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ and MP2/TZVPP levels did not converge. We used the m05-2x/def2-TZVPP optimized structures for single-point energy calculations at the ab initio levels. We encountered SCF convergence problems with the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations but we succeeded in single-point energy calculations at the MP2/def2-TZVPP level.

26. The referees suggested that we calculate the systems FNgNgF and FNgNg and the triplet state of HNgNgF. We optimized the geometries of the latter species at the MP2/def2-TZVPP level and found that the molecules dissociate during the optimization.
