Abstract
6s-type and 4p-type gaussian basis sets are obtained for the second row atoms by fitting, using a least squares criterion, to 12s-type and 9p-type gaussian basis sets which are close to the self-consistent field atomic orbital wave functions. The small gaussian expansions are considered to be more suited for molecular calculations using double basis sets. The differences between these sets and the 10s-type, 6p-type and 9s-type, 5p-type are analysed. For molecular calculations using single gaussian basis sets the 10s-type and 6p-type would seem to be the best compromise.
