Dear all,
Is there anyone who knows why dipole moments calcultaed with a 6-31++G** basis set are worser (deviate more from experimental values) than those calculated with a 6-31G* basis set?
I used B3LYP as calculation method and I tested it for 10 molecules.
Thank you in advance for help,
Best regards, Goedele
