  • Title: Correlation consistent basis sets for molecular core-valence effects with explicitly correlated wave functions: the atoms B-Ne and Al-Ar.
    Author: Hill JG, Mazumder S, Peterson KA.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2010 Feb 07; 132(5):054108. PubMed ID: 20136306.
    Abstract:
    Correlation consistent basis sets have been optimized for accurately describing core-core and core-valence correlation effects with explicitly correlated F12 methods. The new sets, denoted cc-pCVnZ-F12 (n=D, T, Q) and aug-cc-pC(F12)VnZ (n=D, T, Q, 5), were developed by augmenting the cc-pVnZ-F12 and aug-cc-pVnZ families of basis sets with additional functions whose exponents were optimized based on the difference between all-electron and valence-electron correlation energies. The number of augmented functions added is fewer, in general, than in the standard cc-pCVnZ and cc-pwCVnZ families of basis sets. Optimal values of the geminal Slater exponent for use with these basis sets in MP2-F12 calculations are presented and are also recommended for CCSD-F12b calculations. Auxiliary basis sets for use in the resolution of the identity approximation in explicitly correlated calculations have also been optimized and matched to the new cc-pCVnZ-F12 series of orbital basis sets. The cc-pCVnZ-F12 basis sets, along with the new auxiliary sets, were benchmarked in CCSD(T)-F12b calculations of spectroscopic properties on a series of homo- and heteronuclear first and second row diatomic molecules. Comparing the effects of correlating the outer core electrons in these molecules with those from conventional CCSD(T) at the complete basis set limit, which involved calculations with new cc-pCV6Z basis sets for the second row elements that were also developed in the course of this work, it is observed that the F12 values are reasonably well converged already at just the triple-zeta level.
