Subject: Reliablity of B3LYP functional in heavy metals



  Dear netters.

 1. Do you know that the reliabilities of B3LYP functional in heavy atoms
such as Au, Hg, Pb 
, especially Hg, and these complexes (IP, structure, thermodynamics, and so
on)? 
 Would you please show references?

 2. In the present, I will select Stevens' ECP in heavy atoms. 
Stevens, W. J. et al. Can. J. Chem, 1992,  70, 612. 
 Dolg's ECP(Theoretica Chim Acta, 1990, 77, 123) is more useful than Stevens', 
because that is more popular and larger basis set than Stevens'. 
It's pity that, I think, in Gaussian 9X, we cannot use Dolg's ECP
 . That is because I think , in the pseudopotential of Hg, the projection of
angular symmetry l=4 (g) is 
not treated in G9X. Really true? If not, please send me the input example
using Dolg's ECP.

 
 Thanks in advance
  Seiji Mori
