Abstract.
In order to calculate more accurately the enthalpies of formation, ΔH f°(298 K), for large molecules using the CBS-4M method, a new formulation of the empirical higher-level correction to the energy is proposed: ΔE=a|S|2 i i I i i +b(n α+n β)+cΔ<S 2>+Σn i d i . The new methodology (CBS-4MB) applied to a set of 114 molecules of different size significantly decreases the mean absolute deviation from 3.78 to 2.06 kcal/mol.
