Dear Jonathan,
You can find LANL2TZ(f) along with its ECP on the basis set exchange: https://www.basissetexchange.org/
You can indeed find essentially all existing basis sets there in formats for
multiple software packages. For Gaussian 16, you need to use the Gen or GenECP
keywords as basis sets and add the basis set specifications at the end of the
input file: https://gaussian.com/gen/
Since the process can be tedious and error prone, I created an open-source
Python tool that creates input files from simpler commands. It leverages the
Basis Set Exchange Python library and thus can add arbitrary basis sets easily.
The repository can be found here: https://github.com/cyllab/ccinput You can also have a look
at the examples to see what the final input file should look like.
I hope that is helpful!
Raphaël Robidas

Hello,
I have recently seen several publications in which density functional
calculations are carried out in Gaussian 16 using the LANLTZf ecp/basis set, in
particular for transition metals. If there is a keyword that specifies this, I
cannot find out what it is in the online manual.
Am I missing a keyword, or is there a site where I can find information to enter
this basis manually?
Many thanks,
Jonathan Stevenshttp://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/send_ccl_messagehttp-:-//www.ccl.net/chemistry/sub_unsub.shtml/http-:-//www.ccl.net/spammers.txt
