Density-functional calculations of molecular electron affinities

Electron affinities of twelve small molecules were calculated by density functional theory using two different functionals(B88-P86 and B3LYP) combined with three different basis sets(6-31++G** ; 6-311++G** ; aug-cc-pVTZ). Outer valence Green’s function method is also employed for calculation of electron affinities of the molecules. The two most efficient approaches were found to be the combination of (1)B88-P86 with 6-31++G** basis set and (2)B3LYP with 6-31++G**. The two approaches were employed to calculate electron affinities of some medium size molecules.
