The basis set used in the ECP2 calculations was constructed from the all-electron 6-31G(d) basis for boron and hydrogen, a 5s5p1d → 3s3p1d basis set for germanium and tin, and a 5s5p2d → 3s3p2d basis set for lead. The effective core potential was obtained from the Stuttgard group: (a) Kuechle, W.; Dolg, M.; Stoll, H.; Preuss, H. Mol. Phys. 1991, 74, 1245.
