Title: Erratum: “Beyond chemical accuracy in the heavy p-block: The first ionization potentials and electron affinities of Ga–Kr, In–Xe, and Tl–Rn” [J. Chem. Phys. 151, 024303 (2019)]

Abstract

In Ref. 1 incorrect values for the spin-orbit effects on the electron affinities (EAs) of Ga and In were used in Table IV. The KRCI values shown in Table III of Ref. 1, -0.49 and -0.94 kcal/mol for Ga and In, respectively, should have been given. Correct use of these latter values results in final FPD EAs for Ga and In of 6.97 and 8.91 kcal/mol, respectively. The incorrect FPD values were also given in the Abstract and Conclusion sections of Ref. 1. In addition, the experimental EA for In shown in the last column of Table IV was incorrect and should be 8.85 kcal/mol (the actual value being 8.8534 but only two decimal places are displayed throughout this table). A complete replacement for Table IV is given below with the corrected values given in bold font. The corrected FPD and experimental EA values for In in particular changes some of the conclusions of Ref. 1, namely when it is stated both in the abstract and the main text (Sec. III.B and Conclusions) that the experimental EA values for all of the group 13 (Ga, In, and Tl) EAs are too large. This is obviously not true for the EAmore » of In, where the actual FPD value and the experimental result of Walter et al. are in excellent agreement, to within 0.1 kcal/mol. The FPD EAs of the other two group 13 elements, Ga and Tl, differ from their experimental values by 2.5 and 1.3 kcal/mol, respectively, which is still outside of the estimated uncertainty limits of this FPD approach (conservatively ±0.5 kcal/mol), particularly for Ga, therefore the original conclusions for these two elements are largely unchanged.« less
