Within the HF molecule, basis set superposition error (BSSE) at the SCF level, due to improvement of the F 1s orbital by the orbital(s) on H, is examined using a frozen core technique. Both minimal and extended bases are used, and the effects of polarization functions are also tested. For atoms in t

Abstract
Based on the all‐valence ZDO SCF approximation a procedure for estimating the basis set superposition error (BSSE) in semiempirical CNDO/INDO methods has been proposed. The results of the calculation show that the BSSE effect may improve the results obtained from the standard CNDO/INDO supermolecule calculation. The estimated BSSE effect enables one to explain some recently reported artificial structures for water and ethylene dimers.

We investigate the effect of neglecting the basis set superposition error in the theoretical determination of A& We show that this error is, in fact, larger than the claimed accuracy of recent computations of theoretical heats of formation. We further demonstrate that neglecting the basis set superp
## Abstract We evaluate the performance of ten functionals (B3LYP, M05, M05‐2X, M06, M06‐2X, B2PLYP, B2PLYPD, X3LYP, B97D, and MPWB1K) in combination with 16 basis sets ranging in complexity from 6‐31G(d) to aug‐cc‐pV5Z for the calculation of the H‐bonded water dimer with the goal of defining which
