ADF overview http://www.scm.com
Hierarchy of Computational Methods
• Ab initio quantum chemistry (MP2, CC, CI)– Max. 10 atoms, systematic improvements, accurate
if HF is good starting point!
• Density functional theory (DFT)– Typically 100 atoms, accurate if Exc reliable– Handles “difficult” systems without problems
• QM/MM – Typically 10,000 atoms – DFT accuracy at active site, environment effects included
• MM or MD (force fields) – Fast, but inaccurate, no bond-breaking etc.

Basis Sets in ADF: Slater Orbitals
• Benefits of Slater type basis sets: – nuclear cusp and correct asymptotic behavior
– fewer Slaters than Gaussians needed
• BAND: numerical orbitals and Slaters• ADF has basis sets for every situation:
– Whole periodic table: Z = 1 - 118
– frozen core and all-electron
– Relativistic and non-relativistic (ZORA)
– SZ, DZ, DZP, TZP, TZ2P, QZ4P (basis set limit)
– Even-tempered, diffuse
