So my question is how does NWChem handle this situation, discard the extra s-type function or keep it? 
if keep it, will it introduce the linear dependency problem making the basis set overcompleteness? 
 
Thanks,  
 
When using cartesian basis sets, NWChem will keep all the 6 components and, yes, this can easily introduce problems of 
linear dependence in condensed systems (e.g. metallic clusters). 
To avoid this kind of problems, my suggestion is to switch to spherical basis sets (available in NWChem as well). 
 
Cheers, Edo
