Notes:
The recently developed Gaussian basis functions [2] were used in calculations on the ground electronic states of molecules containing transition-metal atoms: ScF3, TiCl4, ZrCl4, Cr(CO)6, Ni(CO)4, CuF, CuCl, Zn(CH3)2, and Cd(CH3)2. The usefulness of minimal basis sets, the importance of splitting of the valence part of the minimal basis sets, the role of the triple splitting of the d-block functions, and the need for p-, d-, and f-type polarization functions were discussed in the context of the geometrical structure and the firstorder electronic properties of the transition-metal atom compounds.
