Abstract
The leading cause of high expense in gold standard coupled cluster theory is that calculations of electronic energies converge exceedingly slowly with an increased basis set size. Extrapolation principally allows for achieving higher-quality outcomes at reduced costs. Numerous extrapolation formulas have been developed, with attempts to predict energies up to the complete basis set limit. Unfortunately, since the intricate shape of the function hinges on the molecular properties with the highest angular momentum of the basis set, the accuracy of the extrapolated energies highly depends on the fitted empirical parameters, which rely on the quality of the data sets for fitting. In this work, to overcome the extrapolation deficiency caused by the very limited data sets and smaller basis sets in the early stages, we constructed a new benchmark platform that includes a broader data set of 183 species (containing open-shell, closed-shell, ionic, and neutral species) and a larger basis set up to aug-cc-pV6Z. The newly optimized parameters can significantly improve the energy-predictive abilities of ten published formulas. Notably, all ten formulas perform quite similarly under the new platform with the reoptimized parameters. Finally, we built an online calculator for researchers to use for these extrapolation schemes. Our work would reignite the interest and applications of the underestimated formulas.

Abstract
Data on the gas-phase energetics of anion/cation interactions are relatively scarce. In this work, gas-phase alkali metal cation basicity (AMCB) scales were established for a series of 15 benzoate ions XC6H4COO- with Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ on the basis of mass spectrometry experiments and high-level calculations. A wide range of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents were included in the study. The thermochemical values were calculated by ab initio methodologies and extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. For each metal cation, the experimental relative cation basicity values of the anions were established quantitatively by applying the Cooks' kinetic method to the cation-bound heterodimers [(XC6H4COO-)M+(YC6H4COO-)]-, generated by electrospray ionization. The self-consistency of these AMCB scales was ascertained by multiple overlap of the individual relative basicities. In parallel, the proton gas-phase basicities (GBs) of the benzoate anions (gas-phase acidities of the respective benzoic acids) were calculated in order to compare the results of the theoretical method with known experimental GB values. The experimental and calculated GB values agree quite accurately (average absolute deviation = 3.2 kJ mol-1). The relative experimental AMCB scales and the absolute calculated AMCB scales are highly correlated, and the two sets agree by better than 4 kJ mol-1. It is also demonstrated that the five series of calculated AMCBs are highly correlated with the calculated GB.

Abstract
![]()
We have carried out
an extensive quantum chemical exploration of
gas-phase alkali metal cation affinities (AMCAs) of archetypal neutral
bases across the periodic system using relativistic density functional
theory. One objective of this work is to provide an intrinsically
consistent set of values of the 298 K AMCAs of all neutral maingroup-element
hydrides XHn of groups 15–18 along
the periods 1–6. Our main purpose is to understand these trends
in terms of the underlying bonding mechanism using Kohn–Sham
molecular orbital theory together with a canonical energy decomposition
analysis (EDA). We compare the trends in XHn AMCAs with the trends in XHn proton
affinities (PAs). We also examine the differences between the trends
in AMCAs of the neutral XHn bases with
those in the corresponding anionic XHn–1– bases. Furthermore, we analyze how the cation
affinity of our neutral Lewis bases changes along the group-1 cations
H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+.

Abstract
The effect of number of CH3 groups (n) on the cation (H+, Li+, Na+, Al+, CH3+) affinity, polarizability, and dipole moment of 14 simple molecules was investigated. Linear correlations were observed between the polarizabilities and the number of methyl groups. The variations of the cation affinities and dipole moments with the number of methyl groups (n) were not linear, and a quadratic function was proposed for obtaining a good fit of the experimental data. Also, because the proton affinities (PA), lithium cation affinities (LCA), sodium cation affinities (SCA), aluminum cation affinity (AlCA), and methyl cation affinity (MCA) varied quadratically with polarizabilities (α), a formula of the form [cation affinities] = a + bα + cα2 was proposed. After correction of the PAs, LCAs, SCAs, AlCA, and MCA for the dipole/charge interaction (Eμ), linear relationships were observed between the corrected cation affinities and n or α. The contribution of Eμ to PA and MCA was small (less than 20%), and its contribution to LCA and SCA was large (>50%). The electrostatic contribution to AlCA was considerable (20-50%); however, it was smaller than the electrostatic contribution to LCA and SCA.

Abstract
We have analyzed the structure and bonding of gas‐phase Cl−X and [HCl−X]+ complexes for X+= H+, CH3+, Li+, and Na+, using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). We wish to establish a quantitative trend in affinities of the anionic and neutral Lewis bases Cl− and HCl for the various cations. The Cl−X bond becomes longer and weaker along X+ = H+, CH3+, Li+, and Na+. Our main purpose is to understand the heterolytic bonding mechanism behind the intrinsic (i.e., in the absence of solvent) alkali metal cation affinities (AMCA) and how this compares with and differs from those of the proton affinity (PA) and methyl cation affinity (MCA). Our analyses are based on Kohn–Sham molecular orbital (KS‐MO) theory in combination with a quantitative energy decomposition analysis (EDA) that pinpoints the importance of the different features in the bonding mechanism. Orbital overlap appears to play an important role in determining the trend in cation affinities.

Abstract
The gas-phase lithium cation binding thermochemistry of glycine has been determined theoretically by quantum chemical calculations at the G4 level and experimentally by the extended kinetic method using electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. The lithium cation affinity of glycine, ∆(Li)H°(298)(GLY), i.e. the∆(Li)H°(298) of the reaction GlyLi(+)→ Gly + Li(+)) given by the G4 method is equal to 241.4 kJ.mol(-1) if only the most stable conformer of glycine is considered or to 242.3 kJ.mol(-1) if the 298K equilibrium mixture of neutral conformers is included in the calculation. The ∆(Li)H°(298)(GLY) deduced from the extended kinetic method is obviously dependent on the choice of the Li(+) affinity scale, thus∆(Li)H°(298)(GLY) is equal to 228.7±0.9(2.0) kJ.mol(- 1) if anchored to the recently re-evaluated lithium cation affinity scale but shifted to 235.4±1.0 kJ.mol(-1) if G4 computed lithium cation affinities of the reference molecules is used. This difference of 6.3 kJ.mol(-1) may originate from a compression of the experimental lithium affinity scale in the high ∆(Li)H°(298) region. The entropy change associated with the reaction GlyLi(+)→Gly + Li(+) reveals a gain of approximately 15 J.mol(-) 1.K(-1) with respect to monodentate Li(+) acceptors. The origin of this excess entropy is attributed to the bidentate interaction between the Li(+) cation and both the carbonyl oxygen and the nitrogen atoms of glycine. The computed G4 Gibbs free energy,∆(Li)G°(298)(GLY) is equal to 205.3 kJ.mol(-1), a similar result, 201.0±3.4 kJ.mol(-1), is obtained from the experiment if the∆(Li)G°(298) of the reference molecules is anchored on the G4 results.

Abstract
According to high level calculations, the upper part of the previously published FT-ICR lithium cation basicity (LiCB at 373 K) scale appeared to be biased by a systematic downward shift. The purpose of this work was to determine the source of this systematic difference. New experimental LiCB values at 373 K have been measured for 31 ligands by proton-transfer equilibrium techniques, ranging from tetrahydrofuran (137.2 kJ mol(-1)) to 1,2-dimethoxyethane (202.7 kJ mol(-1)). The relative basicities (ΔLiCB) were included in a single self-consistent ladder anchored to the absolute LiCB value of pyridine (146.7 kJ mol(-1)). This new LiCB scale exhibits a good agreement with theoretical values obtained at G2(MP2) level. By means of kinetic modeling, it was also shown that equilibrium measurements can be performed in spite of the formation of Li(+) bound dimers. The key feature for achieving accurate equilibrium measurements is the ion trapping time. The potential causes of discrepancies between the new data and previous experimental measurements were analyzed. It was concluded that the disagreement essentially finds its origin in the estimation of temperature and the calibration of Cook's kinetic method.
