CHEM 6343 - Advanced Computational Chemistry Lab Report 9 Polarizability and Basis Set Yunwen Tao∗ April 1, 2015 1 ∗ Graduate Student in CATCO group, Southern Methodist University, yunwent[at]smu.edu A Pople basis set example (From http://www.shodor.org/chemviz/basis/teachers/background. html) 1 1 CHEM 6343 - Advanced Computational Chemistry 1 Brief Introduction In this lab, we are going to modify exponent information in two given basis sets according to Speckman’s paper2 , and to check the modifications to the value of dipole momentum and polarizability. According to Spackman, two basis sets 6-311++G(d,p) and cc-pVQZ will be modified after the optimization work done by him. We will do 6 calculations in total in this lab. The first two is done with Restricted Hartree-Fock with STO-3G and 6-31G(d,p) basis sets. Then, another two calculations with 6-311++G(d,p) and cc-pVQZ basis set will be finished. In the end, calculations with modified 6-311++G(d,p) and cc-pVQZ basis sets will be conducted. 2 Computational Details and Methodology 2.1 General Introduction Generally, the calculation is not difficult but deserves patience especially in the modification of exponent values in basis set information. We will use Polar keyword to calculate polarizability in Gaussian. 2.2 Calculation Setting-up In this section, we will give explicit input information for each calculation. 2.2.1 Calculation I - 1 %chk=water1.chk # opt freq hf/sto-3g geom=connectivity polar Title Card Required 0 1 O H H -5.37533823 -0.80245471 -4.41533823 -0.80245471 -5.69579282 0.10248112 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 1 2 1.0 3 1.0 2 3 2 Mark A.

Because the modification to 6-311++G(d,p) explicitly includes altering the exponents if the d polarization function for oxygen and the p polarization function for hydrogen as well as changing a diffuse sp function for oxygen to a diffuse s function and altering the exponents of this s function for both oxygen and hydrogen. The resulting basis set is called 6-31G(+sd,+sp). However, it seems that for cc-pVQZ basis set which is quite larger than 6-311++G(d,p), after the modification, the properties and energies calculated do not change so much. Maybe the reason is that larger basis sets have more basis functions, and changing just a few of them can not matter so much. 12
