[9] The natures of these van der Waals complexes were further
investigated by optimizations with Grimme’s recently devel-
oped B97-D DFT functional (S. Grimme, J. Comp. Chem.
2006, 27, 1787) with application of the basis set def2-TZVP as
implemented in TURBOMOLE 6.0 (TURBOMOLE: R.

DFT-D approach for investigations of weakly bound com-

Acknowledgments
The authors are grateful to the Stiftung Volkswagenwerk for finan-
cial support of the Cooperation Project between the Institutes of
Inorganic and Organic Chemistry of the University of Münster
(Germany) and the N. N. Vorozhtsov Institute of Organic Chemis-
try, Siberian Division of RAS, Novosibirsk (Russia), which laid
the basis for the work described here. Financial support from the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) (six-months stipend to
L. I. G. for carrying out experimental work in Münster and Bremen
and a three-months stipend to V. D. S., together with expenses for
chemicals and laboratory equipment) is especially gratefully ac-
knowledged. Last but not least, special thanks are expressed to Mr.
Peter Brockmann for valuable technical assistance.
