Abstract

A new, and more accurate set of parameters for estimating the core correlation binding energy for molecules containing H, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Al, Si, P, S, and Cl are introduced. It is demonstrated that the mean unsigned error in the estimate of the sum of these contributions is a factor of 6-12 smaller than the values being fit. As a result, it is possible to estimate most of the error caused by these effects in thermochemical calculations at negligible cost.
