Composite methods using ONIOM and different basis sets have been used to calculate proton and electron affinities for a set of alcohols at QCISD(T)/6-311++G(2df,p) level of theory. The study was carried out considering HF, MP2 and DFT (25 exchange correlation functional) methods. The calculation performed at ONIOM2(QCISD(T)/6-311++G(2df,p):HF/6-31G(d))//ONIOM2(O3LYP/6-31G(d):HF/6-31G(d)) resulted in the smallest average absolute deviation for AP and AE, 4,75 kJ/mol e 0,43 eV, respectively.868873Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)
