Basis set expansion and correlation effects on the computed proton afhities of the oxygen and nitrogen bases CH30H, H&O, CO, CH3NHz, CH2NH, and HCN have been evaluated. Basis set enhancements lead to systematic changes in computed proton ainities. These effects appear to be additive, and are greater

Abstract
The nitrogen protonation energies of the imino bases HN๏ฃพCH__R__, where R is H, CH~3~, NH~2~, OH, and F, have been evaluated to determine the dependence of absolute and relative protonation energies on geometry, basis set, and correlation effects. Reliable absolute protonation energies require a basis set larger than a splitโvalence plus polarization basis, the inclusion of correlation, and optimized geometries of at least HartreeโFock 4โ31G quality. Consistent relative protonation energies can be obtained at the HartreeโFock level with smaller basis sets. Extending the splitโvalence basis set by the addition of polarization functions on all atoms decreases the computed absolute HartreeโFock nitrogen protonation energies of the imino bases HN๏ฃพCH__R__ except when R is F, but increases the oxygen protonation energies of the carbonyl bases O๏ฃพCH__R__.

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
