✦ Synopsis
The free base porphin molecule has been studied with ab initio SCF calculations, using basis sels ranging in size from minimal to triple-c with double polarization (TZZP). For the purpose of analyzing core level XPS binding energies, a double-c basis set is converged to about 0.1 eV. In contrast, minimal basis sets lead to errors in the core ionization energies of more than 1 eV.

This study demonstrates the use of uneven atomic basis sets for ab initio calculations of NMR shielding in the localized orbital/local origin (LORG) approach with norbornenone as the test case. We distinguish between locally dense sets (extended basis on target atom only) and locally saturated sets
