Abstract: On the basis of adding the bond functions (3s 3p 2d) to the basis sets 6-311G ( 2d 2p ) for increasing the efficiency of the basis sets, we have carried out the MP2 calculations of nonlinear optical properties includintg dipole moment uo,polarizibili- ty μo and hyperpolarizability βo for CH4-nFn (n = 1, 2, 3). The results are in good a- greement with those of experimentsl The roles of the bond functions in the calcula- tions are shown (μo, αo, βo) the improved values of the properties are about 2%-7% at the SCF level and about 6%-30% at the correlated level (MP2). It is shown that the more important role of the bond functions in calculating is the im- provement of the effects of the corrections of electronic correlations and the increase of the effects is in the order of μooo In addition, it is also shown that the cal-, culated value of a property does not change with the bond-function location in our calculations except for the regions close to the nuclei in a molecule.
