1.2.1 Cp dimers: It is not valid to compare the energies of 3 or 4 to 2 as they are not isomers. Your energies look fine, good discussion.

1.2.2 NAD: Nice to see your optimisation was based on chemical intuition rather than the random movement of atoms. Good answer.

1.2.3 Taxol: Your structure for 10 is incorrect so your energy is slightly out. Otherwise fine.

1.3.1 Carbene: Your jmols are the wrong structures. I’m picking at straws really, a very good answer.

Mini-project: Good discussion. Not sure why you suddenly start reporting some energies in Hartrees. Nice discussion on the mechanism, some figures wouldn’t have gone amiss here. Good to see you’re investigating the possibility of further isomers and questioning the reported findings in the literature.

Overall: Excellent mini project and good discussions throughout. Well done.
