“…[75] However, does DFT, especially the popular B3LYP, give experimentally accurate kinetic and thermodynamic energies? Recently, many investigations have been devoted to testing the performance of DFT methods for bond dissociation energies, [76] enthalpies of formation, [77] enthalpies of atomization, [78] proton affinities, [79] hydrogen abstraction reactions, [80] radical reactions, [81] weak interactions, [82] S N 2 reactions, [83] pericyclic reactions, [84,85] organic reactions, [86,87] metals, [88] materials, [89] biological applications, and even reactions relevant to astrophysics. [90] This section reviews investigations that give the most reliable quantitative thermochemistries for Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions.…”
