Abstract: 

Influence of the basis set on the geometrical parameters and structural aromaticity indices of isomeric nitroanilines was studied in the framework of MP2 and DFT methods (M06-2X functional). Series of cc-pV(N)Z and def2-(N)ZVP basis sets of double-ζ, triple-ζ, and quadruple-ζ quality augmented with additional diffuse and/or polarization functions were investigated. It was found that using the basis sets of double-ζ quality can be the source of the significant error in MP2 calculations. Important role of additional diffuse functions and negligible influence of additional polarization functions was shown.

Keywords:
