Abstract

Three basis sets (minimal s–p, extended s–p, and minimal s–p with d functions on second row atoms) are used to calculate geometries and binding energies of 24 molecules containing second row atoms. d functions are found to be essential in the description of both properties for hypervalent molecules and to be important in the calculations of two-heavy-atom bond lengths even for molecules of normal valence.
