4. For example, a coupled-cluster with single and double excitations and perturbative triples, CCSD(T), is considered by many as a 'goldstandard' wavefunction approach. This method scales very poorly with system size (power 7) but has been used to predict, e.g., dispersion binding energies.

12. The erroneous behavior of B3LYP results in the calculated dissociation energy of the O-H bond in diortho-t-butylphenol to be too low by ca. 5 kcal/mol. This is because the functional predicts too much repulsion between the hydrogen atoms of the OH and t-Bu groups. See J. S. Wright, E. R. Johnson, G. A. DiLabio, J. Am. Chem.

28. ij terms. Such explicitly correlated approaches go beyond the HF method and are difficult to solve for anything but the simplest systems. As described briefly in the text, other correlated wavefunction techniques introduce electronic correlation by expanding the HF wavefunction to include excited state electronic configurations.
29. We note that the parallel orientation is not the minimum energy structure for the benzene dimer. However, the parallel benzene dimer was chosen for comparative purposes for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is large enough to be a physically reasonable model for dispersion interactions that occur in chemistry and biology. Secondly, the high symmetry of this system allows for the calculation of very high-level correlated wavefunction potential energy surface data with which to compare. Finally, the system is a particularly challenging case for DFT methods.
30. In principle, the exact energy of a chemical system can be computed if an infinitely large (viz. complete) basis set is employed with a wavefunction method that incorporates full electronic correlation. In practice, the complete basis set result is approximated using a scheme in which the energy of a system is extrapolated from energies obtained from finite basis sets.

34. Some popular GGA functionals include BLYP and PBE. Hybrid GGA functionals, like the very popular B3LYP, include a certain amount of exchange obtained from HF theory. Exchange energies calculated by HF theory are exact. BMK, TPSS, and the M06 family of functionals are examples of meta-GGAs.

96. Effective core potentials (ECPs) are commonly used to replace the inner shell electrons of heavy atoms, for example those in the 6th row of the Periodic Table, by simple Gaussian potentials. Doing so reduces the computational cost associated with treating heavy atoms and allows for the inclusion of certain relativistic effects. See, for example, S. A. Wildman, G. A. DiLabio, P. A. Christiansen, J. Chem. Phys. 1997, 107, 9975-9979.
