    Author: Schuurman MS, Allen WD, Schaefer HF.
    Journal: J Comput Chem; 2005 Aug; 26(11):1106-12. PubMed ID: 15934063.
    Abstract:
    The complete quartic force field of BH(3) has been converged to the ab initio limit by extrapolation of core-valence correlation-consistent basis set series (cc-pCVXZ, X = T, Q, 5) of all-electron CCSD(T) (coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples) energy points. Additional computations including full coupled-cluster treatments through quadruple excitations (CCSDTQ), scalar relativistic effects, and diagonal Born-Oppenheimer corrections (DBOC) were concurrently executed. Within second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2) our quartic force field yields the fundamental frequencies nu(1) = 2502.3 cm(-1), nu(2) = 1147.2 cm(-1), nu(3) = 2602.1 cm(-1), and nu(4) = 1196.5 cm(-1), in excellent agreement with observed gas-phase fundamentals, displaying a mean absolute error of only 0.3 cm(-1). Our converged prediction for the equilibrium bond length of BH(3) is r(e) = 1.1867 A.
