50. H). Interestingly, for both methods, the absolute value of the slope is between 0.55 and 0.59 for the vacuum calculation and around 0.85 for the solvent-corrected method. Ideally, a slope of unity would be obtained in a plot of electronvolts versus volts. Deviations might stem from solvation effects, which is in agreement with the slope closer to unity when the solvent model is used. A more detailed discussion can be found in Davis, A.; Fry, A. J. J.
