Segmented all-electron basis set of triple zeta valence quality plus polarization functions (TZP) for the elements of the fifth row to be used together with the zero-order regular approximation (ZORA) was carefully constructed. To correctly describe electrons distant from atomic nuclei, the basis set was augmented with diffuse functions giving rise to a set designated as ATZP-ZORA. At the ZORA-B3LYP theory level, these sets were used to calculate ionization energies and mean dipole polarizabilities of some atoms and bond lengths, dissociation energies, and harmonic vibrational frequencies of diatomic molecules. Then, these results were compared with theoretical and experimental data found in the literature. Even considering that our sets are relatively compact, they are sufficiently accurate and reliable to perform property calculations involving simultaneously electrons from the inner and outer shells. An evaluation of the performances of the ZORA and second-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonians was carried out and the results are here discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
