of Gaussian primitives for contractions in the valence shell. The
ij notations correspond to basis sets of valence DZ quality and
ijk notations indicate split valence sets of triple zeta (TZ) quality.
N-ijG* denotes a polarized basis set augmented with d type functions
on heavy atoms only ; N-ijG** (or N-ijG(d,p) - basis set with p-functions
on hydrogen atoms. |

#) According to the IUPAC recommendation, the actual construction
of the basis sets for each atom should be specified as (abc...,
ghi..., lm..., o...), where a is the number of primitives usually
GTOs) in the first contracted s function, b is the number of primitives
in the second contracted s function, etc., g is the number of primitives
in the first contracted p function , l is the number of primitives
in thecontracted d function, and o is the number of primitives in
the first contracted f function. Thus, a 6-31+G* basis for carbon
should be designated as (6311, 311, 1)
