the
6-31G shares s- and p-exponents, and are listed together as “SP”,
and P implicitly always includes px,py,pz when
including d-functions, there is the choice of either 6 dxx,dxy,dyy,dxz,dyx,dzz
or 5 d-2,d-1,d0,d1,d2, and 6-31G emplyes
the 6d version, while almost all others use the 5d
option. Frank Frank

On Behalf Of Mehboob Alam mehboob.cu*gmail.com Dear researchers, This is about the basis set. We know that if we use 6-31G
basis set for a H2O molecule then there would be 13 basis functions and 30
Gaussian Primitive Functions (GPFs). These numbers are also printed in the
output file from a quantum chemical
software (say g16). However, if I download the basis set for O- and H-atoms
from EMSL I'm unable to identify the 30 GPFs. I could count only 22. It seems
for 2p orbital (there is no GPFs separately for 2px, 2py, and 2pz) Am I missing
something? It would be
great if someone could explain it. Here is the basis function from EMSL H
