SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of vertical electronic affinity and its utility, alongside the distinction between adiabatic and vertical electronic affinity. The terms are closely related to ionization potential and energy, which are critical in understanding electronic transitions in molecules. Resources such as the IUPAC reports and NIST databases provide foundational knowledge and context for these concepts.
