correlation-consistent valence basis sets were developed for the third-row main block elements (K, Ca, Ga-Kr) for use with relativistic effective core potentials. These basis sets are somewhat larger than double-zeta in size, with polarization functions, and are balanced for use in both Hartree-Fock and correlation calculations. Spin-orbit splittings for atoms and molecules are calculated and compared to experiment. These calculations use the approximate spin-orbit operator from the relativistic effective core potentials. The use of these results in the calculations of accurate thermochemical data is discussed. 59 refs.
