I need to write reference on 6-311++g(d,p) basis set in my work where I used it on atoms of I-II periods. Does anyone know where it was first published?

You should look on Basis set exchange
After you select your basis set of interest, on the bottom left you click "Get References for selected basis", and in this case you obtain (I did it for elements C,H,O):
