MP2-F12 Basis Set Convergence for the S66 Noncovalent Interactions Benchmark: Transferability of the Complementary Auxiliary Basis Set (CABS)

Abstract

Complementary auxiliary basis sets for F12 explicitly correlated calculations appear to be more transferable between orbital basis sets than has been generally assumed. We also find that aVnZ-F12 basis sets, originally developed with anionic systems in mind, appear to be superior for noncovalent interactions as well, and propose a suitable CABS sequence for them.Comment: AIP Conference Proceedings, in press (ICCMSE-2017 proceedings), 4 page
