For the carbon 2 s2 2 p2 valence electrons, we use s -nonlocal and p -local components (rcut =1.23 a.u.). The gold 5 d10 6 s1 valence electrons experience angular components s local, p, d, and f nonlocal (rcut =2.20, 2.60, 1.80, and 1.60 a.u., respectively). Scalar-relativistic and nonlinear core corrections are included for Au. The resulting Au2 bond length and dissociation energy are 2.526 and 2.29 eV compared to the experimental values 2.472 and 2.29 eV
