33 Practical considerations Counterpoise correction IV. Practical considerations - Counterpoise correction in weakly bound clusters artificial strengthening of the intermolecular interaction basis set superposition error (BSSE) monomer A approaches monomer B monomer A borrows basis function from monomer B, and vice versa dimer artificially stabilized problem: inconsistent treatment at short ( extra basis functions available) and long ( extra basis functions not available) distances complete basis-set limit: BSSE 0 always apply counterpoise correction (CP) S. F. Boys, F. Bernardi; Mol. Phys., 1970, 19, /48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
34 Practical considerations Counterpoise correction uncorrected interaction energy E int (AB): E int (AB) = E AB (AB) E A (A) E B (B) subscripts denote basis parentheses denote system (here: assuming rigid conformers; often reasonable approximation) estimation of basis set superposition error (BSSE): E BSSE (A) = E AB (A) E A (A) E BSSE (B) = E AB (B) E A (B) E AB (A) < E A (A) E BSSE (A) < 0 (error is stabilizing) E AB (B) < E B (B) E BSSE (B) < 0 (error is stabilizing) e.g. calculate E AB (A) consider only basis of monomer B, not atom (electrons and nuclear charges) ghost atoms E CP int (AB) = E AB(AB) E AB (A) E AB (B) 34/48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
35 Practical considerations Extrapolation schemes and basis sets Extrapolation schemes and basis sets problem for wave-function based methods: require large basis set slow convergence with basis set size but computational costs are high use extrapolation scheme calculate for smaller basis sets extrapolate to basis-set completeness 35/48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
36 Practical considerations Extrapolation schemes and basis sets systematic basis sets required designed to converge systematically to the complete-basis-set (CBS) limit using empirical extrapolation techniques in contrast to e.g. DFT moderately sized basis sets enough to reach complete basis set limit e.g. numeric atom-centered basis functions in FHI-aims minimal, tier1, tier2, tier3 e.g. Pople basis sets 6-31G*, 6-311G*, widely used (HF, DFT, ) mostly used for light elements not too systematic 36/48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
37 Practical considerations Extrapolation schemes and basis sets systematic basis sets required e.g. correlation-consistent basis sets (Dunning et al.) (J. Chem.

Phys., 2005, 7, pp ) def2-svp def2-tzv: valence triple-zeta def2-tzvp: valence triple-zeta plus polarization def2-tzvpp: valence triple-zeta plus polarization (doubly polarized) def2-qzvpp: valence quadruple-zeta plus polarization (doubly polarized) also efficient for HF, DFT use doubly polarized versions (PP) for MP2, coupled-cluster, in FHI-aims: NAO-VCC-nZ (Numeric Atom-centered Orbitals - Valence Correlation Consistent n-zeta) (New J. Phys., 2013, 15, ) use for MP2, RPA, GW, constructed following Dunning s correlation-consistent recipe Igor Ying Zhang 38/48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
39 Practical considerations Extrapolation schemes and basis sets Extrapolation schemes simple two-point extrapolation scheme by Halkier et al. (Chem. Phys. Lett., 1998, 286, 243) E CBS = E[n 1]n 3 1 E[n 2]n 3 2 n 3 1 n3 2 n 1, n 2 basis set cardinal numbers n = 3: triple-zeta n = 4: quadruple-zeta extrapolation scheme used for correlation energy, sometimes also used for total energy 39/48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
40 Practical considerations Extrapolation schemes and basis sets more precise: different basis set behavior for correlation energy E corr and SCF energy E SCF use different extrapolation schemes for E corr and E SCF, e.g.: SCF extrapolation scheme by Kanton and Martin (Theor. Chem. Acc., 2006, 115, pp ) E n SCF = ECBS SCF + Ae α n A, α, CBS-extrapolated energy E CBS SCF 3 parameters to be determined from least-square fitting need at least 3 different basis set calculations, e.g. n = T/Q/5 correlation energy extrapolation scheme by Truhlar (Chem. Phys. Lett., 1998, 294, pp 45 48) E n corr = E CBS corr + Bn β B, β, CBS-extrapolated energy E CBS corr 3 parameters to be determined from least-square fitting need at least 3 different basis set calculations, e.g. n = T/Q/5 40/48 دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان , th May 11
