Correlation Consistent Basis Sets

The following downloads are some of the basis sets developed within the Peterson group. Also available is a bibliography of the correlation consistent basis sets. Additional basis sets and related download resources are the Stuttgart/Koeln PP site and the Basis Set Exchange.
