A molecular improved generator coordinate Hartree-Fock (HF) method is used to generate highly accurate Gaussian basis sets for N 2 , BF, CO, NO + , and CN − . For these molecular systems, sequences of basis sets of atom-centred Gaussian-type functions are employed to explore the accuracy achieved with this method. Our ground state HF total energies are lower than the corresponding ones calculated with other basis sets of primitive Gaussian-type functions reported in the literature. For the molecular systems here studied, the differences between the HF total energy results obtained with our largest basis sets and with a numerical HF method are equals to 38.2, 13.9, 33.0, 76.7, and 55.7 µhartree for N 2 , BF, CO, NO + , and CN − , respectively. We have also calculated the multipole electric moments and compare them with the corresponding experimental values and with results computed by other approaches.
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.
