Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of the damping function in dispersion corrected density functional theory

TL;DR: It is shown by an extensive benchmark on molecular energy data that the mathematical form of the damping function in DFT‐D methods has only a minor impact on the quality of the results and BJ‐damping seems to provide a physically correct short‐range behavior of correlation/dispersion even with unmodified standard functionals.
Journal ArticleDOI

A thorough benchmark of density functional methods for general main group thermochemistry, kinetics, and noncovalent interactions

TL;DR: There is no statistical correlation between a functional's accuracy for atomization energies and the performance for chemically more relevant reaction energies, and it is shown that double-hybrids in general outperform those.
Journal ArticleDOI

A look at the density functional theory zoo with the advanced GMTKN55 database for general main group thermochemistry, kinetics and noncovalent interactions

TL;DR: The importance of better reference values is demonstrated, and the need for London-dispersion corrections in density functional theory (DFT) treatments of thermochemical problems is re-emphasised, to inspire a change in the user community's perception of common DFT methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient and Accurate Double-Hybrid-Meta-GGA Density Functionals—Evaluation with the Extended GMTKN30 Database for General Main Group Thermochemistry, Kinetics, and Noncovalent Interactions

TL;DR: An extended and improved version of the recently published database for general main group thermochemistry, kinetics, and noncovalent interactions is presented, and the PWPB95-D3 functional is recommended in general chemistry applications as the least basis set dependent and the best functional at the triple-ζ level.
Journal ArticleDOI

A General Database for Main Group Thermochemistry, Kinetics, and Noncovalent Interactions − Assessment of Common and Reparameterized (meta-)GGA Density Functionals

TL;DR: Validation against the GMTKN24 and the molecular structure (bond lengths) databases shows that the reparameterization does not change bond lengths much, whereas the description of energetic properties is more prone to the parameters' values.
