provided basis sets are adequate, there should not be large
differences in frequencies computed using different basis sets.
Normally one could expect difference of up to several cm-1.
A difference of 100 cm-1 is very huge and most likely indicates
problems with inadequate basis set etc...

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>Thank you for the information. Being a physicist, DOS seems more appealing to me, no other particular reason. Sir, could the variation in IR be around at max 100 cm-1 or so when SBKJC and non-SBKJC IR are compared? Again thanks for all the precious information regarding SBKJC. This is something only this forum could have provided.

This doubt is due to the fact that core electrons are removed and as Alex sir explained earlier, the actual HOMO,LUMO are different. Is there any change in the DOS or IR spectra (opened in GAUSSSUM) when SBKJC is used?
