We performed a benchmark study on a series of dihydrogen bond complexes and constructed a set of reference bond distances and interaction energies. The test set was employed to assess the performance of several wave function correlated and density functional theory methods. We found that second-order correlation methods describe relatively well the dihydrogen complexes. However, for high accuracy inclusion of triple contributions is important. On the other hand, none of the considered density…

Interaction-Strength Interpolation Method for Main-Group Chemistry: Benchmarking, Limitations, and Perspectives.

Some of the expected limitations of the ISI functional are shown but also unexpected results, such as the good performance for the interaction energy of dispersion-bonded complexes when the ISI correlation is used as a correction to Hartree-Fock.

Accurate water properties from an efficient ab-initio method.

A consistent improvement over several popular ab-initio methods is achieved, indicating the accuracy of this method for describing hydrogen bonding of water.

Accurate non-covalent interaction energies via an efficient MP2 scaling procedure

Global hybrids from the semiclassical atom theory satisfying the local density linear response.

Testing shows that the resulting hybrid, including 20% of Hartree-Fock exchange and named hAPBE, performs remarkably well for a broad palette of systems and properties, being generally better than popular hybrids (PBE0 and B3LYP).

Subsystem density functional theory with meta-generalized gradient approximation exchange-correlation functionals.

A Laplacian-level approximation to the KED is proposed which overcomes this limitation and provides a simple and accurate way to apply meta-GGA exchange-correlation functionals in subsystem DFT calculations.

Dispersion corrections applied to the TCA family of exchange-correlation functionals

Dispersion corrections, namely the D3 and VV10 methodologies, have been added to the TCA GGA-like family of functionals. Without corrections, these functionals give very good results for…

Modified Interaction-Strength Interpolation Method as an Important Step toward Self-Consistent Calculations

An assessment of mISI for molecular systems (i.e., considering thermochemistry properties, correlation energies, vertical ionization potentials, and several noncovalent interactions), harmonium atoms, and functional derivatives in the strong-interaction limit, showing considerable worsening of the results.

Kinetic‐energy‐density dependent semilocal exchange‐correlation functionals

We present the theory of semilocal exchange-correlation (XC) energy functionals which depend on the Kohn–Sham kinetic energy density (KED), including the relevant class of meta-generalized gradient…

Accurate Kohn–Sham ionization potentials from scaled‐opposite‐spin second‐order optimized effective potential methods

This article investigates the performance of some advanced OEP methods, with special emphasis on the recently proposed scaled‐opposite‐spin OEP functional, and analyzes the impact of the so‐called HOMO condition on the final quality of the H OMO energy.

Density Functionals for Noncovalent Interaction Energies of Biological Importance.

The comparison shows that two newly developed density functional theory methods, PWB6K and M05-2X, give the best performance for this benchmark database of 22 noncovalent complexes, including both hydrogen-bonding and dispersion-dominated complexes.

Meta-GGA Exchange-Correlation Functional with a Balanced Treatment of Nonlocality.

A meta-generalized-gradient approximation is constructed which properly balances the nonlocality contributions to the exchange and correlation at the semilocal level and shows good accuracy for a broad palette of properties and systems.

Hydrogen bonding described using dispersion-corrected density functional theory.

It is concluded that DCACPs robustly improve the BLYP description of hydrogen-bonded systems at small additional computational cost.

Density-functional approaches to noncovalent interactions: a comparison of dispersion corrections (DFT-D), exchange-hole dipole moment (XDM) theory, and specialized functionals.

It is concluded that distinct, often contrasting, groups of these elicit the best performance within the accessible double-ζ or robust triple-η basis set regimes and among hydrogen-bonded or dispersion-dominated complexes.

A New Mixing of Hartree-Fock and Local Density-Functional Theories

Previous attempts to combine Hartree–Fock theory with local density‐functional theory have been unsuccessful in applications to molecular bonding. We derive a new coupling of these two theories that…

Performance of conventional and dispersion-corrected density-functional theory methods for hydrogen bonding interaction energies.

It is found that the inclusion of dispersion into the DFT approach is required in order to obtain reasonable results for the HB23 set, and the dispersion-corrected DFT methods tested produce results of variable quality, as measured by mean absolute deviation relative to the revised reference values.

Comparing Counterpoise-Corrected, Uncorrected, and Averaged Binding Energies for Benchmarking Noncovalent Interactions.

This work considers focal point approximations to estimate the complete basis set limit of coupled-cluster theory through perturbative triples [CCSD(T)/CBS] and evaluates how this approach is affected by the use or absence of counterpoise (CP) correction or, as has recently gained traction, the average of those values.
