By using a general linear transformation of Dunning's contracted basis set, the contraction length can be reduced even more than noted in the Comment by Hashimoto et al. With GAUSSIAN 94, this results in a considerable savings in computer time. If one is willing to neglect small coefficients, even g

β¦ Synopsis
The contraction in Dunning's correlation-consistent basis sets follows the original Raffenetti approach that uses (a) occupied SCF orbitals plus (b) uncontracted primitives. Without any loss of energy, (b) can be excluded from (a), leading to substantial savings of CPU times for integral-limited computing steps such as SCF gradient geometry searches on large to very large molecules.

## Abstract It has been suggested that the computational cost of correlated ab initio calculations could be reduced efficiently by using truncated basis sets on hydrogen atoms (Mintz et al., J Chem Phys 2004, 121, 5629). We now explore this proposal in the context of conformational analysis of smal
The present study examines the feasibility of combining the correlation-consistent basis sets developed by Dunning and coworkers with the hybrid HartreeαFockrdensity functional method B3LYP. Furthermore, Ε½ . extrapolation to the complete basis set CBS limit minimizes errors due to the presence of an
Standard and augmented correlation consistent sextuple zeta cc-pV6Z . and aug-cc-pV6Z basis sets have been determined for the second-row atoms aluminum through argon. Using these sets, dissociation energies and spectroscopic constants for the ground states of HCl, PN, and P have been calculated usi
