52. As a Jastrow correlation factor, we use the exponential of the sum of three fifth-order polynomials of the electron-nuclear (e-n), the electron-electron (e-e), and the pure three-body mixed e-e and e-n distances, respectively. The Jastrow factor is adapted to deal with pseudoatoms, and the scaling factor κ is set to 0.6 au.

60. We take the diffuse functions for the carbon and nitrogen atoms from the aug-cc-pVXZ basis sets in the EMSL Basis Set Library (http://bse.pnl.gov). In the D+ basis, we add the diffuse s and p functions from the aug-cc-pVDZ basis. In the T′+ and Q′+ basis sets, we add the diffuse s, p, and d functions from the aug-cc-pVTZ and aug-cc-pVQZ bases, respectively.
