Wilcox et al. (THEOCHEM 2000, 528, 95; THEOCHEM 2001, 538, 67) have developed a fast running ab initio model based on the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) model supplemented with parametric corrections for C,H,N atoms; the model proved to be sufficiently accurate to be useful in unraveling complicated kinetic schemes. This model is reexamined, and by fitting a subset of the singlet C,H,N molecules in the G2/97 database, three variants have been developed that provide more accurate and/or faster running protocols. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
