摘要
The link atom distance of the ONIOM scheme is studied and analyzed with a harmonic approximation. It is shown that, when an appropriate low level is used, the ONIOM absolute energy does not depend on the choice of this distance, except for clearly 'unreasonable' distances. A strategy to analyze the low level is proposed on the basis of this harmonic approximation. Geometry optimizations are found even less sensitive to the choice of this link atom distance.
