26. VdW-DF with PW86 exchange corrects equilibrium separations but overestimates bindings and vdW attractions beyond equilibrium separations which will be fixed by new vdW-DF2 correlation kernel. See Fig. 4 in supplementary material (Ref.).

28. The second-order expansion of the vdW interaction, the "c" term in the notation of Ref., was omitted so that only the "a" and "b" terms are retained, hence the notation Z a b. See Appendix B of Ref.. for a full discussion.

33. This screening term is considerably smaller than the gradient exchange term. We expect that as an estimate, we can without major overall error simply assume that it increases in the same proportion as gradient exchange itself. This ansatz, unlike other simple approaches we might have taken, also assures that the effect of the 10/7 factor enhancing Sham exchange continues to cancel out of exchange and correlation together as it should (Ref.).
