Polarization-consistent (pc-n) basis sets offer faster convergence to the basis-set limit for correlated calculations compared to correlation-consistent sets. This efficiency allows for accurate molecular and spectroscopic property predictions with fewer basis functions.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Theoretical Chemistry

Background:

  • Basis sets are crucial for accurate quantum chemical calculations.
  • Correlation-consistent (cc-pVxZ) and polarization-consistent (pc-n) basis sets are widely used.
  • The efficiency and accuracy of pc-n basis sets at correlated levels of theory were not fully established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the convergence properties of pc-n basis sets compared to cc-pVxZ sets.
  • To assess the accuracy of pc-n basis sets for molecular and spectroscopic parameters.
  • To determine the efficiency of pc-n basis sets for calculating energy second derivatives.

Main Methods:

  • Calculations were performed using pc-n (n=1-4), cc-pVxZ, and aug-cc-pVxZ basis sets.

  • Methodologies included RHF, B3-LYP, MP2, and CCSD(T) levels of theory.
  • Molecular and spectroscopic parameters for H2, H2O, and NH3 were computed.

    • Main Results:

    • pc-n basis sets demonstrated faster convergence to the basis-set limit than cc-pVxZ sets.
    • Equivalent accuracy in molecular and spectroscopic parameters was achieved at the basis-set limit.
    • Fewer basis functions were required with pc-n sets for comparable accuracy, reducing computational cost.

    Conclusions:

    • pc-n basis sets provide a more efficient route to the basis-set limit for correlated calculations.
    • These basis sets enable faster and more storage-efficient computations.
    • The pc-n basis sets are suitable for predicting accurate molecular and spectroscopic properties, including NMR parameters, for larger systems.
