There is a misprint in Table of this paper: the C-F bond lengths in c- C4 F8- are all 1.410 Å for the G3(MP2) method, which uses a MP2 (Full) 6-31G (d) geometry optimization. Also, the typical concentration of c- C4 F8 vapor in the flow tube was misstated; it should read 4 ppmv.

Phys. 110, 4703 (1999)] was attempted but its initial stages yielded Hartree-Fock (HF) wave functions that did not seem to correspond to ground states for some of the molecules of interest, apparently because of the lack of electron correlation contributions with the HF approach; it proved easier to divert to the equally accurate G3(MP2)//B3LYP method rather than addressing the HF issue.
