Calibration of the






mPW1PW91/cc-pVQZ/aug-cc-pVQZ *






model












 



* cc-pVQZ on Li, aug-cc-pVQZ on other atoms.  These bases were obtained from the EMSL basis set library.
 
This is the recommended model, calibration statistics for which are shown below.  A summary of the results for a number of other models is shown here.
 



Calibration was made by linear regression analysis of calculated electric field gradients vs experimental nuclear quadrupole coupling constants.  Calculation of the field gradients was made on the experimental structures of the following molecules:





 
LiF LiCl LiBr
LiOH LiNC LiH
