Gaussian-4 theory using reduced order perturbation theory
Abstract
Two modifications of Gaussian-4 (G4) theory [L. A. Curtiss et al., J. Chem. Phys. 126, 084108 (2007)] are presented in which second- and third-order perturbation theories are used in place of fourth-order perturbation theory. These two new methods are referred to as G4(MP2) and G4(MP3), respectively. Both methods have been assessed on the G3/05 test set of accurate experimental data. The average absolute deviation from experiment for the 454 energies in this test set is 1.04kcal∕mol for G4(MP2) theory and 1.03kcal∕mol for G4(MP3) theory compared to 0.83kcal∕mol for G4 theory. G4(MP2) is slightly more accurate for enthalpies of formation than G4(MP3) (0.99 versus 1.04kcal∕mol), while G4(MP3) is more accurate for ionization potentials and electron affinities. Overall, the G4(MP2) method provides an accurate and economical method for thermochemical predictions. It has an overall accuracy for the G3/05 test set that is much better than G3(MP2) theory (1.04 versus 1.39kcal∕mol) and even better than G3 theory (1.04 versus 1.13kcal∕mol). In addition, G4(MP2) does better for challenging hypervalent systems such as H2SO4 and for nonhydrogen species than G3(MP2) theory.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
