Another initial guess method is to first run the calculation with a small basis set and then use that wave function as the initial guess for a larger basis set calculation. 

Semiempirical (PM3) and ab initio (6-3IG basis set) calculations are in agreement with the hypothesis described in Section I (99MI233 OOOJOC2494). In the case of the sensitized reaction, when the excited triplet state is populated, only the formation of the radical intermediate is allowed. This intermediate can evolve to the corresponding cyclopropenyl derivative or to the decomposition products. In a previously reported mechanism the decomposition products resulted from the excited cyclopropenyl derivative. In our hypothesis the formation of both the decomposition products and the cyclopropenyl derivatives can be considered as competitive reactions. 

We realize that a more advanced method of calculation might place a larger weight on the role played by the orbitals of the two substituents carried by the Si atoms, and thus produce a larger difference between the parent polysilanes and their permethylated derivatives (cf. Ref. 18), but an inspection of the results suggests that this will not affect our conclusions. Another possible concern has to do with the absence of d orbitals in the INDO/S basis set In a large basis set calculation, they would undoubtedly contribute to some degree to the description of both the a and the lower excited states. They...

Let us now consider the errors in the CC3 S( — 2) Cauchy moment (the static polarizability). From the monotonic convergence of the CCSD doubly augmented basis-set calculations of S( — 2) in Table 1 it appears that the difference between the 5Z and 6Z results should give a good estimate of the CCSD basis-set error at the 6Z level. CC3/d-aug-pV5Z 5 ( —2) Cauchy moment is 2.670 a.u. Using the... 

In this paper we present the first application of the ZORA (Zeroth Order Regular Approximation of the Dirac Fock equation) formalism in Ab Initio electronic structure calculations. The ZORA method, which has been tested previously in the context of Density Functional Theory, has been implemented in the GAMESS-UK package. As was shown earlier we can split off a scalar part from the two component ZORA Hamiltonian. In the present work only the one component part is considered. We introduce a separate internal basis to represent the extra matrix elements, needed for the ZORA corrections. This leads to different options for the computation of the Coulomb matrix in this internal basis. The performance of this Hamiltonian and the effect of the different Coulomb matrix alternatives is tested in calculations on the radon en xenon atoms and the AuH molecule. In the atomic cases we compare with numerical Dirac Fock and numerical ZORA methods and with non relativistic and full Dirac basis set calculations. It is shown that ZORA recovers the bulk of the relativistic effect and that ZORA and Dirac Fock perform equally well in medium size basis set calculations. For AuH we have calculated the equilibrium bond length with the non relativistic Hartree Fock and ZORA methods and compare with the Dirac Fock result and the experimental value. Again the ZORA and Dirac Fock errors are of the same order of magnitude. 

In order to test the various approximations of the Coulomb matrix, all electron basis set and numerical scalar scaled ZORA calculations have been performed on the xenon and radon atom. The numerical results have been taken from a previous publication [7], where it should be noted that the scalar orbital energies presented here are calculated by averaging, over occupation numbers, of the two component (i.e. spin orbit split) results. Tables (1) and (2) give the orbital energies for the numerical (s.o. averaged) and basis set calculations for the various Coulomb matrix approximations. The results from table...
