G2 is effectively a QCISD-(T)/6-311+G(3df,2p) calculation carried out using the MP2/6-31G* geometry, plus corrections for the zero-point energy and a higher level correction. The latter will cancel in all the comparisons in the present study.
28. † geometries, a complete basis set explanation based on a MP2/6-311++G(3df,2p) calculation, and higher order corrections based on MP4(SDQ)/6-31+G(2d,p) and QCISD(T)/6-31+G. It also includes correction for the zero-point energy and a higher order correction. The latter will cancel in all the comparisons in this study.
