The results in Table reveals that the LoS model yields vdW radii consistently exceeding the values obtained by other approaches by as much as 0.10-0.20 Å resulting in the increase of the sum of RvdW by 0.2-0.4 Å. This is attributed to the transition of the analysis from the rather arbitrary Dhalf parameters to a more specific and rigorously defined Dmax values. We argue that Rmax are more physically sound as they directly reflect the most probable contact distance, whereas Rhalf appear to correspond to strongly shortened interactions, which are usually denoted as "specific" in the chemical literature. Of all elements analyzed here, only for boron the Rmax determined by our approach is close to Rhalf by Alvarez. This numerical match is most likely associated with the overestimation of Alvarez's RvdW due to the selection of sterically hindered tetravalent B for plotting B•••O distance distribution in Ref. [10].
