Abstract

Medium basis sets based upon contractions of Gaussian primitives are developed for the third‐row elements Ga through Kr. The basis functions generalize the 6‐31G and 6‐31G* sets commonly used for atoms up to Ar. A reexamination of the 6‐31G* basis set for K and Ca developed earlier leads to the inclusion of 3d orbitals into the valence space for these atoms. Now the 6‐31G basis for the whole third‐row K through Kr has six primitive Gaussians for 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p orbitals, and a split‐valence pair of three and one primitives for valence orbitals, which are 4s, 4p, and 3d. The nature of the polarization functions for third‐row atoms is reexamined as well. The polarization functions for K, Ca, and Ga through Kr are single set of Cartesian d‐type primitives. The polarization functions for transition metals are defined to be a single 7f set of uncontracted primitives. Comparison with experimental data shows good agreement with bond lengths and angles for representative vapor‐phase metal complexes. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 22: 976–984, 2001

The (14sllp5d) primitive basis set of Dunning for the third-row main group atoms Ga-Kr has been contracted [6s4pld]. The core functions have been relatively highly contracted while those which represent the valence region have been left uncontracted to maintain flexibility. Calculations with the [Gs

## Abstract The 6‐31G^++^ basis set is described. This basis set is very similar to the existing 6‐31G^\*\*^ set but is somewhat smaller through the use of five (rather than six) second‐order Gaussians (__d__ functions) and has polarization function exponents optimized for correlated rather than Ha

A basis set with bond functions (6-31G + BF) has been tested for its applicability to calculation of dissociation energies of single and multiple bonds by Moeller-Plesset perturbation theory at the second and third orders. Results have been compared with those calculated in the 6-31G\* basis set. Th
