Reaction energies were determined for reductive ring-opening reactions of Li+-coordinated ethylene carbonate (EC) and vinylene carbonate (VC) by using various density functional theory (DFT) and ab-initio methods applying the basis sets up to Dunnings aug-cc-pVQZ. The methods examined include the local density functional (SVWN), the pure gradient-corrected density functionals (BLYP and BPW91), and...
