Although the validation of the binding energy with experimental data was performed for the benzene-Li + complex, the individual binding affinities for TBT and its oligomer with Li + are not currently available in the literature, which limits the validation of the force field with regards experimental data. However, the corrected force field is validated by calculating the binding energy profiles -which were not included in the fitting databasewith OPLS-AA/corr. parameters along a specific pathway and comparing those to their DFT counterparts.
