The same cannot be said of several other EDA schemes. For this reason, we judge the cDFT-based approach to be reliable. For M + • • • H 2 O complexes, the same periodic trend is not observed (using either SAPT-cDFT or the ALMO-EDA2 scheme), as |E CT (K + )| is slightly larger than |E CT (Na + )|, although |E CT (Li + )| remains larger than both. However,
