The G2 atomization energies of fluorine and oxygen containing Ga compounds are greatly in error. This arises from an inversion of the Ga 3d core orbital and the F 2s or O 2s valence orbitals. Adding the Ga 3d orbital to the correlation treatment or removing the F 2s orbitals from the correlation treatment are shown to eliminate the problem. Removing the O 2s orbital from the correlation treatment reduces the error, but it can still be more than 6 kcal/ mol. It is concluded that the experimental atomization energy of GaF2 is too large.
