  1. Theoretical (not statistical) uncertainty estimated from the comparison between different levels of theory as described by Hofierka et al., caption of Table I.
  2. Statistical errors are omitted where they are smaller than the reported precision or otherwise omitted in the referenced source. The lowest variational energy in each column is bolded.
