Technically, there is no problem in combining two basis sets in one input file. However, I do not see why you would use a relativistic basis set in Firefly as it is not capable of relativistic calculations such as Douglas–Kroll–Hess or Dyall's Modified Dirac. Also, I would be cautious when mixing basis sets of considerably different qualities (such as using an unpolarized DZ set with a heavily polarized TZ set).

Could you perhaps explain your question a bit more?


Kind regards,
Thom
