Popis: Ab initio enthalpy computations were carried out for over 40 gas-phase diamagnetic molecules (including 18 hydrocarbons). All employed optimized geometries, basis sets ranging from 4-31G to 6-311++G(2df,2pd), and a series of electron-correlation approximations (MP2, MP3, MP4SDQ, and MP4SDTQ, as well as CCD, CCSD, CCSD+T(CCSD), and several CCSDT versions). The energies of forming the various molecules from the nuclei and electrons at 0 K with no nuclear motion were calculated from experimental data and compared with the various ab initio values. The percentage difference between these experimental and ab initio values without correlation was found to be characteristic of each molecule regardless of the size of the basis set
