|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DZ/TZ | DZ/QZ | TZ/QZ | DZ | TZ | QZ | |
| DFT | 5.11 | 6.06 | 0.583 | 2.31 | 0.205 | 0.0503 |
| CCSD(T) | 9.42 | 16.3 | 3.77 | 2.78 | 1.16 | 0.446 |
All values are in mHa. The mixed electronic basis sets are compared to cc-pVnZ calculations with a value of n equal to the n used for the non-hydrogen atoms.
