Generically, you should be suspicious of antechamber results with linked
conjugated ring systems, and partial double bonds. Use what you get
either with caution, or as a starting point for developing your own
parameters (say by comparisons to quantum results). But I don't have
any specific experience (good or bad) to cite here.
