Reliablity of B3LYP functional in heavy metals

[Seiji Mori <smori at.at utsc.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp>]

   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
