| In most cases, the domain approximations causes the largest errors, in particular in PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 calculations, and if very high accuracy is required or in cases of doubt ''DOMOPT=TIGHT'' should be tried first. This also reduces the errors of the projection approximations, which depend on the domain sizes. Note, however, the calculations with ''TIGHT'' settings are much more demanding than with ''DEFAULT'' options regarding CPU time and memory. For intermolecular interactions, we recommend ''DOMOPT=TIGHT, THRPNO_EN_CC=0.997''. Alternatively, ''DOMOPT=VTIGHT'' can be used, but this leads to a significant further increase of the computational cost. | In most cases, the domain approximations causes the largest errors, in particular in PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12 calculations, and if very high accuracy is required or in cases of doubt ''DOMOPT=TIGHT'' should be tried first.
