Number of basis functions in CCCBDB for (lithium oxide anion)

18 04 26 13 56
These tables list the number of basis functions used in the calculations. For composite methods (G1, G2, G2MP2) the table lists the number of basis functions in the largest basis set. For methods not listed (such as MP2, QCISD, ...) the number of basis functions used in a calculation is the same as HF. For some calculations the number of basis functions is reduced during the calculation. The reduced number of basis functions is shown in parentheses after the orginal number.
