Abstract

We report minimal-type contracted Gaussian-type function (GTF) sets, #n=(n3333/n33/n3) with n=5 and 6, #7= (74333/743/74), and #8= (84333/843/75), for the fourth-row atoms from Rb to Xe. Test calculations are performed on the Ag2 molecule. Spectroscopic constants given by split valence sets derived from #5 and #6 are a little contaminated by basis set superposition error. However, we find that the fully valence split #8 set, (8433111/84111/711111), yields essentially the same results as a large GTF set, (22s15p12d), with a general contraction, when p-, d-, and f-type polarization functions are augmented. The present #7 and #8 CGTF sets are recommended for ab initio molecular calculations including fourth-row atoms.
