36. To determine the best basis set for generating a dipole moment consistent with the literature, benzaldehyde was chosen as a model. Quite contrary to expectations, the 32-1G basis set generated the value closest to the experimental one: 2.9061 Debye (experimental) vs. 3.3991 Debye. See: O. Desyatnyk, L. Pszczolkowski, S.
