These results warrant softening the main conclusion in Ref. 1, as not every member of the 6-311G family needs to be avoided. For DFT thermochemistry, 6-311G(2df,p) is a reasonably good basis set, comparable to def2-TZVP, and 6-311+G(3df,2pd) is a highquality basis set that is comparable to def2-QZVPD. Elsewhere, 6-311+G(2df,2p) has been shown to provide good induction energies in symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, which is relevant because that property is sensitive to the presence of adequate polarization functions. The G3Large basis set is superior, statistically speaking, to def2-QZVPD, especially with regard to reducing the outliers whose importance is diminished by the analysis in Ref. 1.
