The dissociation energies of the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complexes formed by NH3, H2O, and HF were computed in the LCGTO-Xα local spin density approximation using extended basis sets. Attention was given to the appropriate selection of α. The order of stability of the various complexes reflects well their acid–base properties, in general agreement with experimental data and refined post Hartree–Fock computations. Keywords: hydrogen bonds, Xα method, local spin density method.

Gaussian-type orbital and auxiliary basis sets have been optimized for local spin density functional calculations. This first paper deals with the atoms boron through neon. Subsequent papers will provide a list through xenon. The basis sets have been tested for their ability to give equilibrium geometries, bond dissociation energies, hydrogenation energies, and dipole moments. These results indicate that the present optimization technique yields reliable basis sets for molecular calculations. Keywords: Gaussian basis sets, density functional theory, boron–neon, geometries, energies of reactions.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structures of actinide solid systems are calculated using the self-interaction corrected local spin density approximation. Within this scheme the 5f electron manifold is considered to consist of both localized and delo-calized states, and by varying their relative proportions the energetically most favourable (ground state) configuration can be established. Specifically, we discuss elemental Pu in its δ-phase, and the effects of adding O to PuO2.
