Abstrakt: Abstract: This study investigates the importance of the p-function used in the computational modeling. The geometric changes of ReH7(PMe3)2 system is used as the model compound. 6-31G, 6-311G and 6- 311++G basis sets were used for all elements except Re, which used Christiansen et. al. basis set. Upon removing the p-function on metal, we noticed the geometric changes are minimal as long as triple-zeta basis sets are used for rest of elements. While the relative energy profile of a reaction would still reasonably assemble each other, a direct comparison in energy between the basis set with and without p-function is not recommended.
