CCL: Basis set: where are 2px, 2py, 2pz



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.

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
