Contracted [5s3p] and [5s4p] Gaussian basis sets for the first-row atoms are derived from the (10s6p) primitive basis sets of Huzinaga. Contracted [2s] and [3s] sets for the hydrogen atom obtained from primitive sets ranging in size from (4s) to (6s) are also examined. Calculations on the water and nitrogen molecules indicate that such basis sets when augmented with suitable polarization functions should yield wavefunctions near the Hartree–Fock limit. ©1971 American Institute of Physics

  7. In the contraction splitting m(P/Q/[centered ellipsis]) indicates that for the m functions the first P primitives are contracted together, the next Q together, etc. Unless otherwise noted the functions are arranged in order of decreasing orbital exponents. The contraction coefficients are taken directly from the atomic calculations.
  8. Cnm is the coefficient of the primitive function n in the atomic m orbital. Primitive functions are ordered according to decreasing orbital exponent.
  9. Following the established convention, primitive sets will be denoted by parentheses while brackets indicate that the set has been contracted.
  10. Even for the second-row atoms, where there are two parameters and three conditions to be satisfied (because of the 3s orbital), it has been found that obtaining x and y from Eq. (1) leads to quite satisfactory results, e.g., for the chlorine atom the resulting increase in the energy is only 3×10−6 a.u.

  17. For example, with a [6s5p/3s] set derived from an (11s7p/5s) primitive set we obtain for the water molecule (all in atomic units): EHF = −76.0242, µ = 1.0697, Thetazz = −0.1427, Ez(0) = −0.1348, and qxx(0) = −1.8755.
