## Abstract B3LYP/6β31G\* calculations on the degenerate rearrangements of substituted semibullvalenes spuriously predict the relative enthalpies of the bishomoaromatic TSs to be lower than the experimental values. However, the calculations do make the useful and experimentally testable prediction

β¦ Synopsis
We have calculated the geometries, energies, and normal vibrations of 845 compounds containing the elements H, C, N, O, F, Al, Si, P, S, and Cl using hybrid density functional theory in order to investigate the accuracy of atom-additive schemes for predicting enthalpies of formation at 298 K. The results give a more realistic estimate of the accuracy of density functional calculations than some overoptimistic earlier correlations. We have also calculated atom-additive schemes for the zero-point energies and enthalpic corrections to the energies. Remarkably, it is not important to include the vibrational or rotational contributions, which can be estimated well within a purely Born-Oppenheimer regression model.

The B3LYP/6-31G(df,3p) model for the calculation of deuterium nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (nqcc's) is shown to yield results as accurate as calculations previously performed at the MP4 level of theory.
