Abstract
We discuss the interrelations between various basis set extrapolation formulas and show that for the nZaPa and aug-cc-pVnZ basis set formulas, for n=4-6 their behavior closely resembles the Petersson (L+a)(-3) formula with a shift a specific to the basis set family and level of theory. This is functionally equivalent to the Pansini-Varandas extrapolation for large L. This naturally leads to a simple way to extend these extrapolations to n=7 and higher. The formula is validated by comparison with newly optimized extrapolation factors for the AV{6,7}Z basis set pairs and literature values for {6,7}ZaPa. For L >= 5, the CCSD extrapolations of both the Schwenke and Varandas type are functionally equivalent to E(L)=E-infinity+A.(L-0.30)(-3), i.e., E-infinity=E(L)+[E(L)-E(L-1)]/([(L-0.30)/(L-1.30)](3)-1)
