Abstract
A two‐electron basis‐set completeness profile is proposed by analogy with the one‐electron profile introduced by D. P. Chong (Can J Chem 1995, 73, 79). It is defined as Y(α,β)=∑~m~∑~n~〈G~α~(1)G~β~(2)∣(1/r~12~)∣Ψ~m~(1)Ψ~n~(2)〉〈Ψ~m~(1)Ψ~n~(2)∣r~12~∣G~α~(1)G~β~(2)〉 and motivated by the expression for the basis‐set truncation correction that occurs in the framework of explicitly correlated methods (G~α~ is a scanning Gaussian‐type orbital of exponent α and {Ψ~m~} is the orthonormalized one‐electron basis under study). The two‐electron basis‐set profiles provide a visual assessment of the suitability of basis sets to describe electron‐correlation effects. Furthermore, they provide the opportunity to assess the quality of the basis set as a whole—not only of the individual angular momentum subspaces, as is the case for the one‐electron basis‐set profiles. The two‐electron completeness profiles of the cc‐pV__X__Z (X=D, T, Q), aug‐cc‐pVTZ, cc‐pCVTZ, and SVP‐auxiliary basis sets for the carbon atom are presented as illustrative examples. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract This article compares several quantum mechanical approaches to the computation of chemical shielding tensors in peptide fragments. First, we describe the effects of basis set quality up to the complete basis set (CBS) limit and level of theory (HF, MP2, and DFT) for four different atoms
The complete homogeneous form of the quantum mechanical master equation for a heteronuclear two-spin system is presented in the basis of Cartesian product operators. The homogeneous master equation is useful since it allows fast, singlestep computation of the density operator during pulse sequences,

The dimerization energies of two M + 2 to give M 2+ 4 (M = S, Se) were calculated. They depend strongly on the size of the basis set and the correlation method used (ranging from 217 to 522 kJ/mol, M = S) and, therefore, a systematic study of basis set and correlation effects was performed [MP2, MP3
