Table 2.

The effect of the basis set on VIE (eV) of microsolvated thymine calculated using full EOM-IP-CCSD. VIE and ΔVIE refer to the vertical ionization energy and change in vertical ionization energy due to solvation. EOM-IP-CCSD calculations are done using the cc-pVTZ and 6–31+G(d) basis sets.
