42. For layered systems, as graphite, exfoliation is opposed to stretching, full separation of all layers, or cleavage, splitting the bulk into two blocks (sub-bulks). In reference to the molecular systems studied in this paper, only the energy relevant to the first two processes can be compared.

44. Cohesive energy is not to be intended, in this context, as that related to the separation of the solid bulk into independent atoms but only to separation of the component layers.

74. For some pertinent comments on exfoliation and cohesion energies, see in particular its Introduction and its note 39. Actually, as remarked by Donchev, the value put forward by Zacharia, Ulbricht, and Hertel in ref 30 is "a theoretical prediction, based on a force field...fitted to the actual experimental data on PAH-graphite binding energies".
