We propose two new double-hybrid functionals, denoted B2K-PLYP and mPW2K-PLYP, which yield thermochemical performance comparable to existing double-hybrid functionals but offer superior performance for barrier heights of various kinds. We show that the new functionals yield excellent performance for all of the following: (a) main-group thermochemistry; (b) main-group thermochemical kinetics; (c) late transition metal reactions. In addition, B2K-PLYP performs well for weak interactions. 相似文献

Local hybrid functionals with position-dependent exact-exchange admixture are a new class of exchange-correlation functionals in density functional theory that promise to advance the available accuracy in many areas of application. Local hybrids with different local mixing functions (LMFs) governing the position dependence are validated for the heats of formation of the extended G3/99 set, and for two sets of barriers of hydrogen-transfer and heavy-atom transfer reactions (HTBH38 and NHTBH38 databases). A simple local hybrid Lh-SVWN with only Slater and exact exchange plus local correlation and a one-parameter LMF, g(r)=b(tau(W)(r)tau(r)), performs best and provides overall mean absolute errors for thermochemistry and kinetics that are a significant improvement over standard state-of-the-art global hybrid functionals. In particular, this local hybrid functional does not suffer from the systematic deterioration that standard functionals exhibit for larger molecules. In contrast, local hybrids based on generalized gradient approximation exchange tend to give rise to nonintuitive LMFs, and no improved functionals have been obtained along this route. The LMF is a real-space function and thus can be analyzed in detail. We use, in particular, graphical analyses to rationalize the performance of different local hybrids for thermochemistry and reaction barriers. 相似文献

This paper develops two new hybrid meta exchange-correlation functionals for thermochemistry, thermochemical kinetics, and nonbonded interactions. The new functionals are called PW6B95 (6-parameter functional based on Perdew-Wang-91 exchange and Becke-95 correlation) and PWB6K (6-parameter functional for kinetics based on Perdew-Wang-91 exchange and Becke-95 correlation). The resulting methods were comparatively assessed against the MGAE109/3 main group atomization energy database, against the IP13/3 ionization potential database, against the EA13/3 electron affinity database, against the HTBH38/4 and NHTBH38/04 hydrogen-transfer and non-hydrogen-transfer barrier height databases, against the HB6/04 hydrogen bonding database, against the CT7/04 charge-transfer complex database, against the DI6/04 dipole interaction database, against the WI7/05 weak interaction database, and against the new PPS5/05 pi-pi stacking interaction database. From the assessment and comparison of methods, we draw the following conclusions, based on an analysis of mean unsigned errors: (i) The PW6B95, MPW1B95, B98, B97-1, and TPSS1KCIS methods give the best results for a combination of thermochemistry and nonbonded interactions. (ii) PWB6K, MPWB1K, BB1K, MPW1K, and MPW1B95 give the best results for a combination of thermochemical kinetics and nonbonded interactions. (iii) PWB6K outperforms the MP2 method for nonbonded interactions. (iv) PW6B95 gives errors for main group covalent bond energies that are only 0.41 kcal (as measured by mean unsigned error per bond (MUEPB) for the MGAE109 database), as compared to 0.56 kcal/mol for the second best method and 0.92 kcal/mol for B3LYP. 相似文献

The Perdew-Zunger self-interaction-corrected density functional theory (SIC-DFT) was implemented self-consistently using a quasi-Newton direct minimization method. We calculated SIC-DFT energies for a number of atoms and molecules using various approximate density functionals, including hybrids. Self-interaction errors (SIE) of these functionals were compared and analyzed in terms of contributions from valence and core orbitals. We also calculated enthalpies of formation of the standard G2-1 set of 55 molecules and found that self-interaction-correction (SIC) improves agreement with experiment only for the LSDA functional, while all other functionals show worse performance upon introducing SIC. This is the first systematic study of the effect of SIC on thermochemical properties. We found no direct connection between the magnitude of the SIE contained in a functional and its performance for thermochemistry. Approximate functionals with large self-interaction errors can accurately reproduce enthalpies of formation. Our results do not support the popular belief that a smaller SIE of hybrid functionals is the main reason for their higher accuracy. 相似文献

We present two new hybrid meta exchange- correlation functionals, called M06 and M06-2X. The M06 functional is parametrized
including both transition metals and nonmetals, whereas the M06-2X functional is a high-nonlocality functional with double
the amount of nonlocal exchange (2X), and it is parametrized only for nonmetals.The functionals, along with the previously
published M06-L local functional and the M06-HF full-Hartree–Fock functionals, constitute the M06 suite of complementary functionals.
We assess these four functionals by comparing their performance to that of 12 other functionals and Hartree–Fock theory for
403 energetic data in 29 diverse databases, including ten databases for thermochemistry, four databases for kinetics, eight
databases for noncovalent interactions, three databases for transition metal bonding, one database for metal atom excitation
energies, and three databases for molecular excitation energies. We also illustrate the performance of these 17 methods for
three databases containing 40 bond lengths and for databases containing 38 vibrational frequencies and 15 vibrational zero
point energies. We recommend the M06-2X functional for applications involving main-group thermochemistry, kinetics, noncovalent
interactions, and electronic excitation energies to valence and Rydberg states. We recommend the M06 functional for application
in organometallic and inorganometallic chemistry and for noncovalent interactions.

The accuracy of existing density functional methods for describing the noncovalent interaction energies in small water clusters is investigated by testing 25 density functionals against a data set of 28 water dimers and 8 water trimers whose structures are taken from the literature and from simulations. The most accurate functionals are found to be PW6B95 with a mean unsigned error of 0.13 kcal/mol and MPWB1K and B98 with mean unsigned errors of 0.15 kcal/mol; the best functional with no Hartree-Fock exchange is mPWLYP, which is a GGA with a mean unsigned error of 0.28 kcal/mol. In comparison, the most popular GGA functionals, PBE and BLYP, have mean unsigned errors of 0.52 and 1.03 kcal/mol, respectively. Since GGAs are very cost efficient for both condensed-phase simulations and electronic structure calculations on large systems, we optimized four new GGAs for water. The best of these, PBE1W and MPWLYP1W, have mean unsigned errors of 0.12 and 0.17 kcal/mol, respectively. These new functionals are well suited for use in condensed-phase simulations of water and ice. 相似文献

"Rung 3.5" exchange-correlation functionals for Kohn-Sham density functional theory depend linearly on the nonlocal one-particle density matrix of the noninteracting Kohn-Sham reference system. Rung 3.5 functionals also require a semilocal model for the one-particle density matrix. This work presents new model density matrices for Rung 3.5 functionals. The resulting functionals give reasonable predictions for total energies, molecular thermochemistry and kinetics, odd-electron bonds, and conjugated polymer bandgaps. Global-hybrid-like combinations of semilocal and Rung 3.5 exchange, and empirical density matrix models, also show promise. 相似文献

The difference between density functionals defined by energy criterion and density functionals defined by density criterion is studied for the exchange functional. It is shown that Slater potentials are exact exchange potentials in the sense that they yield the Hartree–Fock electron density if all operators are given by local expressions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Practicality of the Kohn-Sham density functional scheme for orbital-dependent functionals hinges on the availability of an efficient procedure for constructing local exchange-correlation potentials in finite basis sets. We have shown recently that the optimized effective potential (OEP) method, commonly used for this purpose, is not free from difficulties. Here we propose a robust alternative to OEPs, termed effective local potentials (ELPs), based on minimizing the variance of the difference between a given nonlocal potential and its desired local counterpart. The ELP method is applied to the exact-exchange-only problem and shown to be promising for overcoming troubles with OEPs. 相似文献

General performance of density functionals 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The density functional theory (DFT) foundations date from the 1920s with the work of Thomas and Fermi, but it was after the work of Hohenberg, Kohn, and Sham in the 1960s, and particularly with the appearance of the B3LYP functional in the early 1990s, that the widespread application of DFT has become a reality. DFT is less computationally demanding than other computational methods with a similar accuracy, being able to include electron correlation in the calculations at a fraction of time of post-Hartree-Fock methodologies. In this review we provide a brief outline of the density functional theory and of the historic development of the field, focusing later on the several types of density functionals currently available, and finishing with a detailed analysis of the performance of DFT across a wide range of chemical properties and system types, reviewed from the most recent benchmarking studies, which encompass several well-established density functionals together with the most recent efforts in the field. Globally, an overall picture of the level of performance of the plethora of currently available density functionals for each chemical property is drawn, with particular attention being dedicated to the relative performance of the popular B3LYP density functional. 相似文献

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in understanding the enzymatic mechanism of glycosidases resorting mostly to DFT and DFT/MM calculations. However, the performance of density functionals (DFs) is well known to be system and property dependent. Trends drawn from general studies, despite important to evaluate the quality of the DFs and to pave the way for the development of new DFs, may be misleading when applied to a single specific system/property. To overcome this issue, we carried out a benchmarking study of 40 DFs applied to the geometry optimization and to the electronic barrier height (E Barrier) and electronic energy of reaction (E R) of prototypical glycosidase‐catalyzed reactions. Additionally, we report calculations with SCC‐DFTB and four semiempirical MO methods applied to the same problem. We have used a universal molecular model for retaining glycosidases, comprising only a 22‐atoms system that mimics the active site and substrate. High accuracy reference geometries and energies were calculated at the CCSD(T)/CBS//MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level of theory. Most DFs reproduce the reference geometries extremely well, with mean unsigned errors (MUE) smaller than 0.05 Å for bond lengths and 3° for bond angles. Among the DFs, wB97X‐D, CAM‐B3LYP, B3P86, and PBE1PBE have the best performance in geometry optimizations (MUE = 0.02 Å). Conversely, semiempirical MO and SCC‐DFTB methods yielded less accurate geometries (MUE between 0.09 and 0.17 Å). The inclusion of D3 correction has a small, but still relevant, influence in the geometry predicted by some DFs. Regarding E Barrier, 11 DFs (MPW1B95, CAM‐B3LYP, M06 ‐ 2X, PBE1PBE, wB97X ‐ D, B1B95, BMK, MN12 – SX, M05, M06, and M11) presented errors below 1 kcal.mol?1, in relation to the reference energy. Most of these functionals belong to the family of hybrid functionals (H‐GGA, HH‐GGA, and HM‐GGA), which shows a positive influence of HF exchange in the determination of E Barrier. The inclusion of D3 correction has not affected significantly the E Barrier and E R. The use of geometries at the accurate but expensive MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level of theory has a small, albeit not insignificant, influence in the E Barrier when compared with energies calculated with geometries determined with the DFs (usually a few tenths of kcal.mol?1, with exceptions). In general, semiempirical MO methods and DFTB are associated with larger errors in the determination of E Barrier, with unsigned errors from 6.9 to 24.7 kcal.mol?1. 相似文献

In this article, some applications of lower bounds to density-dependent functionals in terms of radial expectation values are performed. These diverse applications include accurate upper bounds to the exact kinetic energy and to conjecture a wide set of relationships among radial and momentum expectation values. Some open questions for the improvement of these results are remarked upon. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Semilocal pseudopotentials have been determined for first–row (Li to Ne), second row (Na to Ar), and third-row atoms (K, Ca). Core–valence correlation is included by adjusting the pseudopotentials to experimental energies of ions with a single valence electron. Correlation within the valence shell is taken into account by using the spin–density functional formalism. The approximations involved in this approach are tested for atomic ionization energies as well as binding energies of monohydrides and alkali diatomics, agreement with experiment is usually satisfactory, but in certain applications density functionals should be already included in the fitting of the local part of the pseudopotential. In addition, 3s/3p and 3s/2p basis sets (for first and second row, respectively), designed for use in connection with our pseudopotentials, are given; it is shown that they yield reasonable results for both SCF and correlation energies. 相似文献

We present a new local density functional, called M06-L, for main-group and transition element thermochemistry, thermochemical kinetics, and noncovalent interactions. The functional is designed to capture the main dependence of the exchange-correlation energy on local spin density, spin density gradient, and spin kinetic energy density, and it is parametrized to satisfy the uniform-electron-gas limit and to have good performance for both main-group chemistry and transition metal chemistry. The M06-L functional and 14 other functionals have been comparatively assessed against 22 energetic databases. Among the tested functionals, which include the popular B3LYP, BLYP, and BP86 functionals as well as our previous M05 functional, the M06-L functional gives the best overall performance for a combination of main-group thermochemistry, thermochemical kinetics, and organometallic, inorganometallic, biological, and noncovalent interactions. It also does very well for predicting geometries and vibrational frequencies. Because of the computational advantages of local functionals, the present functional should be very useful for many applications in chemistry, especially for simulations on moderate-sized and large systems and when long time scales must be addressed. 相似文献

We show that a simple one-parameter scaling of the dynamical correlation energy estimated by the density functional theory (DFT) correlation functionals helps increase the overall accuracy for several local and nonlocal functionals. The approach taken here has been described as the "scaled dynamical correlation" (SDC) method [Ramachandran, J. Phys. Chem. A 2006, 110, 396], and its justification is the same as that of the scaled external correlation (SEC) method of Brown and Truhlar. We examine five local and five nonlocal (hybrid) DFT functionals, the latter group including three functionals developed specifically for kinetics by the Truhlar group. The optimum scale factors are obtained by use of a set of 98 data values consisting of molecules, ions, and transition states. The optimum scale factors, found with a linear regression relationship, are found to differ from unity with a high degree of correlation in nearly every case, indicating that the deviation of calculated results from the experimental values are systematic and proportional to the dynamic correlation energy. As a consequence, the SDC scaling of dynamical correlation decreases the mean errors (signed and unsigned) by significant amounts in an overwhelming majority of cases. These results indicate that there are gains to be realized from further parametrization of several popular exchange-correlation functionals. 相似文献

This article investigates the performance of five commonly used density functionals, B3LYP, BP86, PBE0, PBE, and BLYP, for studying diatomic molecules consisting of a first row transition metal bonded to H, F, Cl, Br, N, C, O, or S. Results have been compared with experiment wherever possible. Open-shell configurations are found more often in the order PBE0>B3LYP>PBE approximately BP86>BLYP. However, on average, 58 of 63 spins are correctly predicted by any functional, with only small differences. BP86 and PBE are slightly better for obtaining geometries, with errors of only 0.020 A. Hybrid functionals tend to overestimate bond lengths by a few picometers and underestimate bond strengths by favoring open shells. Nonhybrid functionals usually overestimate bond energies. All functionals exhibit similar errors in bond energies, between 42 and 53 kJmol. Late transition metals are found to be better modeled by hybrid functionals, whereas nonhybrid functionals tend to have less of a preference. There are systematic errors in predicting certain properties that could be remedied. BLYP performs the best for ionization potentials studied here, PBE0 the worst. In other cases, errors are similar. Finally, there is a clear tendency for hybrid functionals to give larger dipole moments than nonhybrid functionals. These observations may be helpful in choosing and improving existing functionals for tasks involving transition metals, and for designing new, improved functionals. 相似文献

The correlation energies of the helium isoelectronic sequence and of Hooke's atom isoelectronic sequence have been evaluated using an assortment of local, gradient, and metagradient density functionals. The results are compared with the exact correlation energies, showing that while several of the more recent density functionals reproduce the exact correlation energies of the helium isoelectronic sequence rather closely, none is satisfactory for Hooke's atom isoelectronic sequence. It is argued that the uniformly acceptable results for the helium sequence can be explained through simple scaling arguments that do not hold for Hooke's atom sequence, so that the latter system provides a more sensitive testing ground for approximate density functionals. This state of affairs calls for further effort towards formulating correlation-energy density functionals that would be truly universal at least for spherically symmetric two-fermion systems. 相似文献
