Thus, the present work can be considered as a positive synthesis of various conflicting views. Based on previous experience, it is expected that such synthesis should be proven successful and constructive, facilitating the successful and accurate functionalization of AGNRs for realistic applications. As is demonstrated below, we can fully rationalize all known experimental data for the 5-, 7-, and 9-AGNRs within less than 1% accuracy, predict non-measured gaps, and pinpoint at the same time the sources of discrepancies.
