Introduction
This Dataverse record contains data for reproducing the results in our corresponding journal article. For more information about the computational protocols used to generate the data, please see the journal article or the ChemRxiv entry (see below).
How to use
This data set two data files: molecular coordinates (ALL_GEOMETRIES.txt) and metal-ligand interaction energy data (Raw_Data.csv). These formats lend themselves for easy preparation and analysis with Python.
For example, in order to load the data set into a Pandas DataFrame, do the following:
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('Raw_Data.csv')
You can prepare a list of all geometries in the following way:
with open('ALL_GEOMETRIES.txt') as f:
raw_string = f.read()
molecules = [mol.split('\n') for mol in raw_string.split('\n\n')]
The ReadMe file contains descriptions of all data fields found in Raw_Data.csv. All energies are given in Hartrees, and all geometries are given in Angströms.

Abstract from journal article
Transition metal-catalyzed reactions invariably include steps where ligands associate or dissociate. In order to obtain reliable energies for such reactions, sufficiently large basis sets need to be employed. In this paper, we have used high-precision multiwavelet calculations to compute the metal–ligand association energies for 27 transition metal complexes with common ligands, such as H2, CO, olefins, and solvent molecules. By comparing our multiwavelet results to a variety of frequently used Gaussian-type basis sets, we show that counterpoise corrections, which are widely employed to correct for basis set superposition errors, often lead to underbinding. Additionally, counterpoise corrections are difficult to employ when the association step also involves a chemical transformation. Multiwavelets, which can be conveniently applied to all types of reactions, provide a promising alternative for computing electronic interaction energies free from any basis set errors.
