 Dear Sachin Tyagi,
 I prepared special for you an example.  Please, see it below.  I think you were
 better to include your input (possible a part of your input) in your first
 message.
 Sincerely,
 Ol Ga

 answer. But there are general suggestions: dont forget polarization functions;
 triple exponential basis sets are more reliable than bi-exponential basis sets;
 possible, ECP (small core) from Stuttgart-Dresden group in more reliable than
 ECP from Los-Alamos.
