“…This deviation is similar to that achieved using the best existing theoretical methods; moreover, it is not uncommon to observe differences greater than 0.5 units between experimental values reported for a single compound. For example, significant variations have been noted for 2,2′- and 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl, − BINOL, − and various catechols, and in certain cases, the differences have provoked controversies in the literature. This underscores the importance of developing theoretical methods for assessing the reliability of experimental values.…”
