This O-H bond is inside my QM region. My QM level of calculation is B3LYP/6-31+G**. I like to how much is the accuracy of this method in estimation of bond length? How much is average error or uncertainty for bond distance in such calculation compared with Xray crystal structure, neutron diffraction or other experimental techniques? Any reference is also greatly appreciated.

Please contact Mr Damian Jones by the end of tomorrow (Thursday 13/09/2012): "Jones, DR (Damian)" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MSSC2012 - Ab initio Modelling in Solid State Chemistry Discovering quantum-mechanical simulations with CRYSTAL http://www.cse.scitech.ac.uk/events/MSSC2012 London (UK), September 17-21, 2012 Directors: N.M. Harrison - G. Mallia The week long school is designed for CRYSTAL users, PhD students, Post-Docs and researchers with interests in solid state chemistry, physics, materials science, surface science, catalysis, magnetism and nano-science. It will provide both an introduction to the capabilities of quantum mechanical simulation and to the practical use of CRYSTAL09 (http://www.crystal.unito.it/) and CRYSCOR (http://www.cryscor.unito.it).
