Gaussian implementation

To go from a semiempirical calculation in the GAUSSIAN implementation (File 9-1) to an ab initio calculation, one need only change PM3 in the route section of the input file to sto-3g for a single point calculation or sto-3g opt for an optimization. We have made this change in File 10-1 along with the substitution of h for f in the second line of the geometry section to calculate the molecular...

Other functionals, not reported here, leeid to a somewhat erratic accuracy. This compensation of errors appears to be restricted to small molecules since the methylation of the molecules studied here shuffles the previous conclusions. Indeed, this could be traced back to the parameterization of Be88 exchange GGA (one parameter, P, fitted) and Becke s hybrid functionals (3 parameters in the standard form used here with Gaussian implementation) 24,le... 

Closely related time-dependent (TD) DFT-based CIS methods are available for all common DFT functionals. These methods are potentially more accurate than HF-based CIS (due to DFT-type incorporation of leading dynamic correlation effects), but their current Gaussian implementation is considerably less general. In former Gaussian versions, TD methods lacked the necessary density corrections ( density=current ) for NBO/NRT or other analysis options. Many other Gaussian multistate Cl options (such as CISD, QCISD, etc.) are similarly deficient with respect to analytic gradients and density corrections for excited-state roots.

The application of density functional theory to isolated, organic molecules is still in relative infancy compared with the use of Hartree-Fock methods. There continues to be a steady stream of publications designed to assess the performance of the various approaches to DFT. As we have discussed there is a plethora of ways in which density functional theory can be implemented with different functional forms for the basis set (Gaussians, Slater type orbitals, or numerical), different expressions for the exchange and correlation contributions within the local density approximation, different expressions for the gradient corrections and different ways to solve the Kohn-Sham equations to achieve self-consistency. This contrasts with the situation for Hartree-Fock calculations, wlrich mostly use one of a series of tried and tested Gaussian basis sets and where there is a substantial body of literature to help choose the most appropriate method for incorporating post-Hartree-Fock methods, should that be desired.

Semi-empirical methods, such as AMI, MINDO/3 and PM3, implemented in programs like MOPAC, AMPAC, HyperChem, and Gaussian, use parameters derived from experimental data to simplify the computation. They solve an approximate form of the Schrodinger equation that depends on having appropriate parameters available for the type of chemical system under investigation. Different semi-emipirical methods are largely characterized by their differing parameter sets. 

The table on the next page indicates the relationship between problem size and resource requirements for various theoretical methods. Problem size is measured primarily as the total number of basis functions (N) involved in a calculation, which itself depends on both the system size and the basis set chosen some items depend also on the number of occupied and virtual (unoccupied) orbitals (O and V respectively), which again depend on both the molecular system and the basis set. The table lists both the formal, algorithmic dependence and the actual dependence as implemented in Gaussian (as of this writing), which may be somewhat better due to various computational techniques... 

A computer program for the theoretical determination of electric polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilitieshas been implemented at the ab initio level using a computational scheme based on CHF perturbation theory [7-11]. Zero-order SCF, and first-and second-order CHF equations are solved to obtain the corresponding perturbed wavefunctions and density matrices, exploiting the entire molecular symmetry to reduce the number of matrix element which are to be stored in, and processed by, computer. Then a /j, and iap-iS tensors are evaluated. This method has been applied to evaluate the second hyperpolarizability of benzene using extended basis sets of Gaussian functions, see Sec. VI.
