Abstract
The basis of all molecular property quantum chemical calculations is the correct equilibrium geometry. In this paper, new efficient pecG-n (n = 1, 2) basis sets for the geometry optimization of molecules containing hydrogen and p elements of 2-3 periods are proposed. These basis sets were optimized via the property-energy consistent (PEC) algorithm directed to the minimization of the molecular energy gradient relative to the bond lengths. New basis sets are compact and give equilibrium geometries of very high quality, which is comparable to that provided by considerably larger energy-optimized basis sets. The equilibrium geometries obtained with the pecG-n (n = 1, 2) basis sets and the other basis sets of diverse quality were tested in the CCSD calculations of different second-order molecular properties, including NMR shielding constants, static polarizabilities, and static magnetizabilities. As a result, new basis sets have demonstrated far superior performance as compared to the other energy-optimized basis sets of the same or close sizes commonly used at the geometry optimization stage.

Abstract
Given the importance of accurate polarizability calculations to many chemical applications, coupled with the need for efficiency when calculating the properties of sets of molecules or large oligomers, we present a benchmark study examining possible calculation methods for polarizable materials. We first investigate the accuracy of the additive model used in GFN2, a highly-efficient semi-empirical tight-binding method, and the D4 dispersion model, comparing its predicted additive polarizabilities to ωB97XD results for a subset of PubChemQC and a compiled benchmark set of molecules spanning polarizabilities from approximately 3 Å3 to 600 Å3, with some compounds in the range of approximately 1200-1400 Å3. Although we find additive GFN2 polarizabilities, and thus D4, to have large errors with polarizability calculations on large conjugated oligomers, it would appear an empirical quadratic correction can largely remedy this. We also compare the accuracy of DFT polarizability calculations run using basis sets of varying size and level of augmentation, determining that a non-augmented basis set may be used for large, highly polarizable species in conjunction with a linear correction factor to achieve accuracy extremely close to that of aug-cc-pVTZ.

Abstract
Present review outlines the advances and perspectives of computational 1 H and 13 C NMR applied to the stereochemical studies of inorganic, organic, and bioorganic compounds, involving in particular natural products, carbohydrates, and carbonium ions. The first part of the review briefly outlines theoretical background of the modern computational methods applied to the calculation of chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants at the DFT and the non-empirical levels. The second part of the review deals with the achievements of the computational 1 H and 13 C NMR in the stereochemical investigation of a variety of inorganic, organic, and bioorganic compounds, providing in an abridged form the material partly discussed by the author in a series of parent reviews. Major attention is focused herewith on the publications of the recent years, which were not reviewed elsewhere.

Abstract
The collision diameter σ for a large set of molecular species is related to the static electronic polarizability αel. A remarkable correlation between these quantities conceptually similar to the analogous one previously identified for atoms is revealed. Our recommended model is the function σ(αel) = p1 + p2αel1/3, where p1 = 0.768 Å and p2 = 2.168 are the fitting parameters providing the best overall match to the reference data for collision diameter (181 data points). The obtained correlation allows one to easily find the collision diameter of molecules from the known polarizability and vice versa. These findings can be useful for many applications, where there is a need for inexpensive assessments of the collision diameters or electronic polarizabilities, for example, when developing the transport property databases for modeling of chemically reacting flows.

Abstract
Due to the importance of predicting static and dynamic polarizabilities, the performance of various correlated linear response methods including random phase approximation (RPA), RPA(D), higher-order random phase approximation (HRPA), HRPA(D), second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA), SOPPA(CC2), SOPPA(CCSD), CC2, and CCSD has been evaluated against CCSD(T) (static case) and CCSD (dynamic cases) for the T145 set of 145 organic molecules. The benchmark reveals that the HRPA(D) method has the best performance for both static and dynamic polarizabilities apart from CCSD. RPA(D) ranks second for the dynamic cases and third for the static case. Using coupled-cluster amplitudes in SOPPA(CCSD) and SOPPA(CC2), the SOPPA results are significantly improved. The HRPA method has the largest deviations from the reference values for both cases. In general, according to the performance and computational cost of the methods, the HRPA(D) and RPA(D) methods are proposed for calculations of static and dynamic polarizabilities of this and similar sets of molecules.

Abstract
Experimental, theoretical, and additive-model photoabsorption cross sections combined with constraints provided by the Kuhn-Reiche-Thomas sum rule and the high-energy behavior of the dipole oscillator strength density are used to construct dipole oscillator strength distributions for benzene, pyridazine (1,2-diazine), pyrimidine (1,3-diazine), pyrazine (1,4-diazine), s-triazine (1,3,5-triazine), toluene (methylbenzene), hexafluorobenzene, and nitrobenzene. The distributions are used to predict dipole sum rules S(k) for -6 ≤ k ≤ 2, mean excitation energies I(k) for -2 ≤ k ≤ 2, and isotropic van der Waals C6 coefficients. A popular combination rule for estimating C6 coefficients for unlike interactions from the C6 coefficients of the like interactions is found to be accurate to better than 1% for 606 of 628 cases (96.4%) in the test set.
