  1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
    Def2-bases form a system of segmented contracted basis sets for the elements H-Rn for different levels of flexibility/accuracy. The respective basis set types are named def2-SV(P) to def2-QZVPP. These basis sets are designed to give similar errors all accross the periodic table for a given basis set type. They were tested for a set of ca. 300 molecules representing nearly each element in nearly all of its common oxidation states. These basis sets were derived from previous Karlsruhe bases (def-SV(P), etc.) in many cases.

    Details of developent and coordinates of test compounds are given in

  2. RECOMMENDATIONS:
    A) How to use
    Summarizing the results of ref.1 we may roughly give the
    following scheme:

        ____________________________________________________________________
       |                                                                    |
       |Accuracy:   - exploratory - qualitative - quantitative  -  cbs-limit|
       |                                                                    |
       |Typical errors*           30            10          3        1      |
       |                                                                    |
       | HF                          SVP             TZVPP       QZVPP      |
       | DFT                         SV(P)           TZVP        QZVP       |

       |*:atomization energy per atom kJ/mol                                |
       |____________________________________________________________________|

    B) How to quote
    Use of def2-bases requires citation of ref.1 and in case of ECPs that of the respective reference. Further citation of ref.2-5 is recommended. Thus:

    H-He Y-Cd Rb,Cs Sr,Ba Li,Mg In-Sb Te-Xe
    B-Ne La-Hg K,Ca Tl-Bi Po-Rn
    Al-Ar
    Sc-Kr
