diffuse functions are available with some basis sets, as are multiple polarization functions. The<br />

keyword syntax is best illustrated by example: 6-31+G(3df,2p) designates the 6-31G basis set<br />

supplemented by diffuse functions, 3 sets of d functions and one set of f functions on heavy<br />

atoms, and supplemented by 2 sets of p functions on hydrogens.<br />

When the AUG- prefix is used to add diffuse function to the cc-pVxZ basis sets, one<br />

diffuse function of each function type in use for a given atom is added. For example, the augcc-pVTZ<br />

basis places one s, one d, and one p diffuse functions on hydrogen atoms, and one d,<br />

one p, one d, and one f diffuse functions on B through Ne and AI through Ar.<br />

Adding a single polarization function to 6-31G (i.e. 6-311G(d)) will result in one d function<br />

for first and second row atoms and one function for first transition row atoms, since d functions<br />

are already present for the valence electrons latter. Similarly, adding a diffuse function to the 6-<br />

311G basis set will produce one s, one p, and one d diffuse functions for third - row atoms.<br />

The following table lists polarization and diffuse function availability and the range of<br />

applicability for each built-in basis set in Gaussian 94:<br />
