Unlike semiempirical methods that are formulated to completely neglect the core electrons, ah initio methods must represent all the electrons in some manner. However, for heavy atoms it is desirable to reduce the amount of computation necessary. This is done by replacing the core electrons and their basis functions in the wave function by a potential term in the Hamiltonian. These are called core potentials, elfective core potentials (ECP), or relativistic effective core potentials (RECP). Core potentials must be used along with a valence basis set that was created to accompany them. As well as reducing the computation time, core potentials can include the effects of the relativistic mass defect and spin coupling terms that are significant near the nuclei of heavy atoms. This is often the method of choice for heavy atoms, Rb and up. [Pg.84]

Slovenia), using the DFT implementation in the Gaussian03 code. Revision C.02 (8). The orbitals were described by a mixed basis set. A fully uncontracted basis set from LANL2DZ was used for the valence electrons of Re (9), augmented by two / functions Q =1.14 and 0.40) in the full optimization. Re core electrons were treated by the Hay-Wadt relativistic effective core potential (ECP) given by the standard LANL2 parameter set (electron-electron and nucleus-electron). The 6-3IG basis set was used to describe the rest of the system. The B3PW91 density functional was used in all calculations. [Pg.16]

The basis sets used in the reactions including F and Cl are the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence double zeta (aug-cc-pVDZ) sets [16]. In the reactions including Br and I, the relativistic effective core potential (ECP) due to Stevens et al. [17,18] and their associated basis sets were used for Br and I, and the cc-pVDZ set for H. The basis sets of Br and I were augmented by adding a d polarization function with an exponent of 0.389 (Br) / 0.266 (I) and sp diffuse functions with an exponent 0.03574 (Br) / 0.03007 (I). The diffuse p polarization function of the aug-cc-pVDZ set of H was omitted for consis-... [Pg.69]

For the heavier elements, relativistic effects due to the core may become important. To account for this in the simplest way, the electrons in the core can be replaced by a potential that produces the same valence electron distribution as an all-electron relativistic computation. This also reduces the computer time needed as well, since the number of functions is reduced. Another hazard of doing all-electron calculations with small basis sets on lower-row elements is that the bond lengths have large error. The relativistic effective core potential (RECP) that we employed was CEP-121G (12). For this RECP, the geometry was optimized at the MP2 level of theory, and a single-point energy was computed at the CCSD(T) level of theory (13). [Pg.384]

In the calculations based on effective potentials the core electrons are replaced by an effective potential that is fitted to the solution of atomic relativistic calculations and only valence electrons are explicitly handled in the quantum chemical calculation. This approach is in line with the chemist s view that mainly valence electrons of an element determine its chemical behaviour. Several libraries of relativistic Effective Core Potentials (ECP) using the frozen-core approximation with associated optimised valence basis sets are available nowadays to perform efficient electronic structure calculations on large molecular systems. Among them the pseudo-potential methods [13-20] handling valence node less pseudo-orbitals and the model potentials such as AIMP (ab initio Model Potential) [21-24] dealing with node-showing valence orbitals are very popular for transition metal calculations. This economical method is very efficient for the study of electronic spectroscopy in transition metal complexes [25, 26], especially in third-row transition metal complexes. [Pg.124]

In 1992 Dmitriev, Khait, Kozlov, Labzowsky, Mitrushenkov, Shtoff and Titov [151] used shape consistent relativistic effective core potentials (RECP) to compute the spin-dependent parity violating contribution to the effective spin-rotation Hamiltonian of the diatomic molecules PbF and HgF. Their procedure involved five steps (see also [32]) i) an atomic Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculation for the metal cation in order to obtain the valence orbitals of Pb and Hg, ii) a construction of the shape consistent RECP, which is divided in a electron spin-independent part (ARECP) and an effective spin-orbit potential (ESOP), iii) a molecular SCF calculation with the ARECP in the minimal basis set consisting of the valence pseudoorbitals of the metal atom as well as the core and valence orbitals of the fluorine atom in order to obtain the lowest and the lowest H molecular state, iv) a diagonalisation of the total molecular Hamiltonian, which... [Pg.244]

Other, scalar relativistic effects are usually minor. Among them, the most important is the contraction of s-orbitals caused by the increase in electron mass due to high velocity near the nucleus. Except in the most careful work, such effects are modeled using relativistic effective core potentials (ECPs), also called core pseudopotentials [76]. When an ECP is used, the corresponding valence basis set should be used for the remaining electrons. A small-core ECP, in which fewer electrons are replaced by the effective potential, is a weaker approximation and therefore more reliable than the corresponding large-core ECP. The selection of basis sets to accompany ECPs is more restricted than the selection of all-electron basis sets, but appropriate correlation-consistent basis sets are available for heavy p-block elements [77-80]. [Pg.18]
