Correlation consistent basis sets that are suitable for the correlation of the outer-core (n-1)spd electrons of the post-d elements Ga-Rn have been developed. These new sets, denoted by cc-pwCVXZ-PP (X=D,T,Q,5), are based on the previously reported cc-pVXZ-PP sets that were built in conjunction with accurate small-core relativistic pseudopotentials (PPs) and designed only for valence nsp correlation. These new basis sets have been utilized in benchmark coupled cluster calculations of the core-valence correlation effects on the dissociation energies and spectroscopic properties of several small molecules. As expected, the most important contribution is the correlation of the (n-1)d electrons. For example, in the case of the group 13 homonuclear diatomics (Ga(2),In(2),Tl(2)), this leads to a dissociation energy increase compared to a valence-only treatment from 1.5 to 3.2 kcal/mol, bond length shortenings from -0.076 to -0.125 A?, and harmonic frequency increases of 7-8?cm(-1). Even in the group 15 cases (As(2),Sb(2),Bi(2)), the analogous effects of (n-1)d electron correlation are certainly not insignificant, the largest values being +4.4?kcal/mol, -0.049 A?, and +9.6?cm(-1) for the effects on D(e), r(e), and ω(e), respectively. In general, the effects increase in magnitude down a group from 4p to 6p. Correlation of the outer-core (n-1)p electrons is about an order of magnitude less important than (n-1)d but larger than that of the (n-1)s. The effect of additional tight functions for Hartree-Fock and valence sp correlation was found to be surprisingly large, especially for the post-4d and post-5d elements. The pseudopotential results for the molecules containing post-3d elements are also compared to the analogous all-electron calculations employing the Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian. The errors attributed to the PP approximation are found to be very small.  相似文献

Accurate multi-reference contracted CI calculations have been performed on CaH to determine the bond distance and the dissociation energy. At the Hartree-Fock limit a bond distance 0.10 au longer than in experiments is found. This value is not improved by a valence CI calculation. Including the core-valence (CV) contribution to the correlation energy makes the bond distance too short by 0.06 au, and agreement with experiments is obtained first when the core-core (CC) contribution from the 3p orbitals is added also. It turns out that the only orbital which needs to be treated of the core is the 3p σ orbital, which shows some bonding character at the CI level. Tight d functions to describe a 3d orbital of the type occupied in the 2D state of Ca?, and f functions to correlate the 3p orbital are necessary for obtaining a good bond distance. For the dissociation energy a different trend is observed with excellent agreement with experiments at the CV level and no improvement over the SCF level at the CC level. The results are discussed and analyzed in detail in the text, where a section on size consistency is also added.  相似文献

Quasirelativistic energy-consistent 4f-in-core pseudopotentials modeling tetravalent lanthanides (4f n?1 occupation with n = 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 for Ce, Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy) have been adjusted. Energy-optimized (6s5p4d) and (7s6p5d) valence basis sets contracted to polarized double- to quadruple-zeta quality as well as 2f1g correlation functions have been derived. Corresponding smaller (4s4p3d) and (5s5p4d) basis sets suitable for calculations on lanthanide(IV) ions in crystalline solids form subsets of these basis sets designed for calculations on neutral molecules. Calculations for lanthanide tetrafluorides using the 4f-in-core pseudopotentials at the Hartree–Fock level show satisfactory agreement with calculations using 4f-in-valence pseudopotentials. For cerium tetrafluoride the experimental bond length is well reproduced using the 4f-in-core pseudopotential at the coupled-cluster level with single and double excitation operators and a perturbative estimate of triple excitations. For cerium dioxide 4f-in-core and 4f-in-valence pseudopotential calculations agree quite well, if a proper f basis set instead of f polarization functions is applied.  相似文献

Crystal orbital adapted Gaussian (4s4p3d), (5s5p4d) and (6s6p5d) valence primitive basis sets have been derived for calculating periodic bulk materials containing trivalent lanthanide ions modeled with relativistic energy-consistent 4f-in-core lanthanide pseudopotentials of the Stuttgart-Koeln variety. The calibration calculations of crystalline A-type Pm2O3 using different segmented contraction schemes (4s4p3d)/[2s2p2d], (4s4p3d)/[3s3p2d], (5s5p4d)/[2s2p2d], (5s5p4d)/[3s3p3d], (5s5p4d)/[4s4p3d], (6s6p5d)/[2s2p2d], (6s6p5d)/[3s3p3d] and (6s6p5d)/[4s4p4d] are discussed at both Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) levels for the investigation of basis set size effects. Applications to the geometry optimization of A-type Ln2O3 (Ln = La-Pm) show a satisfactory agreement with experimental data using the lanthanide valence basis sets (6s6p5d)/[4s4p4d] and the standard set 6-311G* for oxygen. The corresponding augmented sets (8s7p6d)/[6s5p5d] with additional diffuse functions for describing neutral lanthanide atoms were applied to calculate atomic energies of free lanthanide atoms for the evaluation of cohesive energies for A-Ln2O3 within both conventional Kohn-Sham DFT and the a posteriori-HF correlation DFT schemes.  相似文献

Medium basis sets based upon contractions of Gaussian primitives are developed for the third‐row elements Ga through Kr. The basis functions generalize the 6‐31G and 6‐31G* sets commonly used for atoms up to Ar. A reexamination of the 6‐31G* basis set for K and Ca developed earlier leads to the inclusion of 3d orbitals into the valence space for these atoms. Now the 6‐31G basis for the whole third‐row K through Kr has six primitive Gaussians for 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p orbitals, and a split‐valence pair of three and one primitives for valence orbitals, which are 4s, 4p, and 3d. The nature of the polarization functions for third‐row atoms is reexamined as well. The polarization functions for K, Ca, and Ga through Kr are single set of Cartesian d‐type primitives. The polarization functions for transition metals are defined to be a single 7f set of uncontracted primitives. Comparison with experimental data shows good agreement with bond lengths and angles for representative vapor‐phase metal complexes. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Improved energy-optimized (6s5p4d) and (7s6p5d) primitive valence basis sets have been derived for energy-consistent scalar-relativistic 4f-in-core pseudopotentials of the Stuttgart-Cologne variety modeling divalent lanthanides with a $4\hbox{f}^{n+1}$ occupation (n = 0?C13 for La?CYb). Segmented contracted basis sets covering the range of polarized double-, triple-, and quadruple-zeta quality, augmented by 2f1g correlation sets, were created for use in molecular calculations. The basis sets contain smaller (4s4p3d) and (5s5p4d) primitive subsets, which are designed in particular for solid state calculations of crystals containing divalent lanthanide ions. Hartree?CFock, density functional theory and coupled cluster results obtained with the new basis sets for lanthanide atomic ionization potentials as well as of geometry optimizations of various test molecules, i.e. selected lanthanide mono- and dihydrides, mono- and difluorides, and monooxides, show a satisfactory agreement with experimental data as well as with corresponding scalar-relativistic all-electron results. Core-polarization potentials are found to improve the results, especially for the atomic first and second ionization potentials.  相似文献

Quasirelativistic energy-consistent 5f-in-core pseudopotentials modelling trivalent actinides, corresponding to a near-integral 5f n occupation (n = 0–14 for Ac–Lr), have been generated. Energy-optimized (6s5p4d), (7s6p5d), and (8s7p6d) primitive valence basis sets contracted to polarized double to quadruple zeta quality as well as 2f1g correlation functions have been derived. Corresponding smaller basis sets (4s4p3d), (5s5p4d), and (6s6p5d) suitable for calculations on actinide(III) ions in crystalline solids form subsets of these basis sets designed for calculations on neutral molecules. Results of Hartree–Fock test calculations for actinide(III) monohydrates and actinide trifluorides show a satisfactory agreement with corresponding calculations using 5f-in-valence pseudopotentials. Even in the beginning of the actinide series, where the 5f shell is relatively diffuse, only quite acceptable small deviations occur as long as the 5f-shell does not participate significantly in covalent bonding.

Quasirelativistic energy-consistent 5f-in-core pseudopotentials modeling divalent (5f n+1 occupation with n = 5–13 for Pu–No) respectively tetravalent (5f n-1 occupation with n = 1–9 for Th–Cf) actinides together with corresponding core-polarization potentials have been generated. Energy-optimized (6s5p4d) and (7s6p5d) valence basis sets as well as 2f1g correlation functions have been derived and contracted to polarized double, triple, and quadruple zeta quality. Corresponding smaller (4s4p) and (5s5p) respectively (4s4p3d) and (5s5p4d) basis sets suitable for calculations on actinide(II) respectively actinide(IV) ions in crystalline solids form subsets of these basis sets designed for calculations on molecules. Results of Hartree–Fock test calculations for actinide di- and tetrafluorides show a satisfactory agreement with calculations using 5f-in-valence pseudopotentials.

Quasirelativistic energy-consistent 5f-in-core pseudopotentials modeling pentavalent (5f n?2 occupation with n = 2–6 for Pa–Am) and hexavalent (5f n?3 occupation with n = 3–6 for U–Am) actinides have been adjusted. Energy-optimized (6s5p4d) and (7s6p5d) valence basis sets contracted to polarized double- to quadruple-zeta quality as well as 2f1g correlation functions have been derived. Corresponding smaller basis sets (4s4p3d) and (5s5p4d) suitable for calculations on actinide(V) and actinide(VI) ions in crystalline solids form subsets of these basis sets designed for calculations on neutral molecules. Calculations using the Hartree–Fock and the coupled-cluster method with single and double excitation operators and a perturbative estimate of triple excitations for actinide pentafluorides show satisfactory agreement with calculations using 5f-in-valence pseudopotentials and experimental data, respectively. However, in the hexavalent case the 5f-in-core approximation seems to reach its limitations except for hexavalent uranium (5f0), where results for both uranium hexafluoride and the uranyl ion deviate only slightly from the 5f-in-valence reference data.  相似文献

The coupled cluster approximation with single, double, and quasiperturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)] was used in combination with the Douglas-Kroll contracted correlation consistent basis sets [cc-pVnZ-DK, where n = D(2), T(3), Q(4), and 5] and small-core relativistic pseudopotentials (PP) with correlation consistent polarized valence basis sets (cc-pVnZ-PP and aug-cc-pVnZ-PP) to investigate the impact of scalar relativistic corrections on energetic and structural properties of small molecules containing third-row (Ga-Kr) atoms. These molecules were taken from the Gaussian-2 extended test set for third-row atoms. Atomization energies, ionization energies, electron affinities, and proton affinities for molecules in the test set were determined and compared with nonrelativistic results which were obtained in a recent study in which the standard and augmented correlation consistent basis sets were used in combination with CCSD(T). Several schemes were used to extrapolate the energies to the complete basis set limit.  相似文献

The electron correlation energy of two-electron atoms is known to converge asymptotically as approximately (L+1)(-3) to the complete basis set limit, where L is the maximum angular momentum quantum number included in the basis set. Numerical evidence has established a similar asymptotic convergence approximately X(-3) with the cardinal number X of correlation-consistent basis sets cc-pVXZ for coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) and second order perturbation theory (MP2) calculations of molecules. The main focus of this article is to probe for deviations from asymptotic convergence behavior for practical values of X by defining a trial function X(-beta) that for an effective exponent beta=beta(eff)(X,X+1,X+N) provides the correct energy E(X+N), when extrapolating from results for two smaller basis sets, E(X) and E(X+1). This analysis is first applied to "model" expansions available from analytical theory, and then to a large body of finite basis set results (X=D,T,Q,5,6) for 105 molecules containing H, C, N, O, and F, complemented by a smaller set of 14 molecules for which accurate complete basis set limits are available from MP2-R12 and CCSD-R12 calculations. beta(eff) is generally found to vary monotonically with the target of extrapolation, X+N, making results for large but finite basis sets a useful addition to the limited number of cases where complete basis set limits are available. Significant differences in effective convergence behavior are observed between MP2 and CCSD (valence) correlation energies, between hydrogen-rich and hydrogen-free molecules, and, for He, between partial-wave expansions and correlation-consistent basis sets. Deviations from asymptotic convergence behavior tend to get smaller as X increases, but not always monotonically, and are still quite noticeable even for X=5. Finally, correlation contributions to atomization energies (rather than total energies) exhibit a much larger variation of effective convergence behavior, and extrapolations from small basis sets are found to be particularly erratic for molecules containing several electronegative atoms. Observed effects are discussed in the light of results known from analytical theory. A carefully calibrated protocol for extrapolations to the complete basis set limit is presented, based on a single "optimal" exponent beta(opt)(X,X+1,infinity) for the entire set of molecules, and compared to similar approaches reported in the literature.  相似文献

Recently reported energy-consistent relativistic pseudopotentials have been used with series of matching correlation consistent basis sets in benchmark calculations of various atomic and molecular properties. The basis set convergence of the 4d metal electron affinities and 5s2-->5s0 excitation energies are reported at the CCSD(T) level of theory, and the effects of valence and 4s4p correlation are investigated. In addition the impact of correlating the low-lying 3d electrons was also studied in all-electron Douglas-Kroll-Hess (DKH) calculations, which also included the ionization potentials and 5s2-->5s1 excitation energies. For all four atomic properties, higher order coupled cluster calculations through CCSDTQ are reported. The final calculated values are generally all within 1 kcal/mol of experiment. A notable exception is the ionization potential of Tc, the currently accepted experimental value of which is suggested to be too high by about 3 kcal/mol. Molecular calculations are also reported for the low-lying electronic states of ZrO and RuF, as well as the ground electronic state of Pd2. The effects of spin-orbit coupling are investigated for these cases in pseudopotential calculations. Wherever possible, the pseudopotential results have been calibrated against DKH calculations with correlation consistent basis sets of triple-zeta quality. In all cases the calculated data for these species are in very good agreement with experiment. In particular, the correct electronic ground state for the RuF molecule (4Phi92) was obtained, which was made possible by utilizing systematic sequences of correlation consistent basis sets.  相似文献

An augmented valence triple-zeta basis set, referred to as G3Large, is reported for the first-row transition metal elements Sc through Zn. The basis set is constructed in a manner similar to the G3Large basis set developed previously for other elements (H-Ar, K, Ca, Ga-Kr) and used as a key component in Gaussian-3 theory. It is based on a contraction of a set of 15s13p5d Gaussian primitives to 8s7p3d, and also includes sets of f and g polarization functions, diffuse spd functions, and core df polarization functions. The basis set is evaluated with triples-augmented coupled cluster [CCSD(T)] and Brueckner orbital [BD(T)] methods for a small test set involving energies of atoms, atomic ions, and diatomic hydrides. It performs well for the low-lying s-->d excitation energies of atoms, atomic ionization energies, and the dissociation energies of the diatomic hydrides. The Brueckner orbital-based BD(T) method performs substantially better than Hartree-Fock-based CCSD(T) for molecules such as NiH, where the starting unrestricted Hartree-Fock wavefunction suffers from a high degree of spin contamination. Comparison with available data for geometries of transition metal hydrides also shows good agreement. A smaller basis set without core polarization functions, G3MP2Large, is also defined.  相似文献

At different levels of coupled cluster theory optimum structures, energetics, and harmonic vibrational frequencies for several low-lying doublet and quartet electronic states of linear NiCN and NiNC were studied using four contracted Gaussian basis sets, ranging from Ni[6s5p4d2f], CN[4s3p2d] to Ni[8s7p5d3f2g1h], CN[5s4p3d2f1g]. The most reliable predictions were obtained with a relativistic Douglas-Kroll restricted open-shell-based coupled cluster method including singles, doubles, and perturbative triple excitations [DK-R/UCCSD(T)]. This level of theory was used in conjunction with correlation-consistent polarized valence Douglas-Kroll recontracted quadruple-zeta basis sets (cc-pVQZDK). The energetic ordering of the electronic states of NiCN is predicted to be 2delta < 2sigma+ < 2pi < 4delta < 4pi and that of NiNC is 2delta approximately 2sigma+ < 2pi < 4delta < 4pi < 4sigma-. Our theoretical investigation supports the assignment of the ground-state term symbol, the Ni-C stretching frequency, and the bending frequency for the ground electronic state of NiCN by Kingston et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 215, 106 (2002)] and by Sheridan and Ziurys [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 6370 (2003)]. The predicted structure of the 2delta ground state of NiCN, r(e)(Ni-C) = 1.822 angstroms and r(e)(C-N) = 1.167 angstroms, at DK-R/UCCSD(T)/cc-pVQZDK shows excellent agreement with the experimentally determined Ni-C bond length of 1.826 A and less satisfactory agreement for the C-N bond length of 1.153 angstroms [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 6370 (2003)]. It is also concluded that the metal-to-ligand pi back donation is weak or negligible. Additionally, we found that on the 2delta surface the linear cyanide isomer lies lower in energy than the linear isocyanide isomer by 12.2 kcal mol(-1).  相似文献

We consider 1s Auger decay in doubly (core-core and core-valence) ionized Ne and in the isoelectronic first row element hydrides. We show theoretically that the presence of the spectator inner valence vacancy leads to Auger lifetime variation of up to about a factor of 2, relative to the Auger lifetimes in the singly ionized species. The origin of this effect is traced to spin selection rules. Implications on the modelling of the radiation damage in strong x-ray fields are discussed.  相似文献

Segmented contracted basis sets for 4d, 5d, 5s, and 6s elements of split (double zeta) valence to quadruple zeta valence quality optimized for Dirac-Fock effective core potentials (ECPs) are presented. They were obtained from previous bases optimized for Wood-Boring ECPs by comparably small modifications and reoptimizations. Additionally extensions for two-component self-consistent-field treatments accounting for spin-orbit (SO) coupling were designed and optimized. Reliability for chemical applications was assessed by comparing results to those obtained with a very large (19s16p17d7f6g) reference basis for a set of more than 80 representatively chosen 5s-5d compounds. Moreover, the effect of different types of ECPs and that of the SO-coupling at the basis set limit of density functional theory is documented for the above set of molecules extended by 40 5p-6p compounds.  相似文献
