Benchmarks that span a broad swath of chemical space, such as GMTKN55, are very useful for assessing progress in the quest for more universal DFT functionals. We find that the WTMAD2 metrics for a great number of functionals show a clear…

In this paper, the performance of more than 40 popular or recently developed density functionals is assessed for the calculation of 463 vertical excitation energies against the large and accurate QuestDB benchmark set. For this purpose, the…

A DFT benchmark on water including more than 50 functionals from GGA to double-hybrid levels is reported. The main metric is the accuracy of forces, allowing better structural coverage, higher statistical confidence, and fewer error sources…

To better understand the thermochemical kinetics and mechanism of a specific chemical reaction, an accurate estimation of barrier heights (forward and reverse) and reaction energy are vital. Due to the large size of reactants and transition…

For the large and chemically diverse GMTKN55 benchmark suite, we have studied the performance of density-corrected density functional theory (HF-DFT), compared to self-consistent DFT, for several pure and hybrid GGA and meta-GGA…

Accurate low-order structure factors (Fg) measured by quantitative convergent beam electron diffraction (QCBED) were used for validation of different density functional theory (DFT) approximations. 23 low-order Fg were measured by QCBED for…

In two recent papers [A. D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 156, 214101 (2022) and 157, 234102 (2022)] we compared two Kohn-Sham density functionals based on physical modelling and theory with the best density-functional power-series fits in the…

Hydrogen bonding is an important non-covalent interaction that plays a major role in molecular self-organization and supramolecular structures. It can be described accurately with ab initio quantum chemical wave function methods, which…

Multi-center transition metal complexes (MCTMs) with magnetically interacting ions have been proposed as components for information processing devices and storage units. For any practical application of MCTMs as magnetic units, it is…

We propose a long-range corrected hybrid meta-GGA functional, based on a global hybrid meta-GGA functional, M05 [Y. Zhao, N. E. Schultz, and D. G. Truhlar, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 161103 (2005)], and empirical atom-atom dispersion corrections.…

The density functional theory (DFT) approximations that are the most accurate for the calculation of band gap of bulk materials are hybrid functionals like HSE06, the MBJ potential, and the GLLB-SC potential. More recently, generalized…

The importance of databases of reliable and accurate data in chemistry has substantially increased in the past two decades. Their main usage is to parametrize electronic structure theory methods, and to assess their capabilities and…

Sun et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 144, 191101 (2016)] suggested that common density functional approximations (DFAs) should exhibit large energy errors for excited states as a necessary consequence of orbital nodality. Motivated by…

We perform systematic density functional theory (DFT) calculations to assess the performance of various exchange-correlation potentials $V_{xc}$ in describing the chalcogenide GaM$_4$Q$_8$ lacunar spinels (M=Mo, V, Nb, Ta; Q=S, Se). We…

A finite electronic band gap is a standard filter in high-throughput screening of materials using density functional theory (DFT). However, because of the systematic underestimation of band gaps in standard DFT approximations, a number of…

Efficient and high capacity storage materials are indispensable for a hydrogen-based economy. In silico tools can accelerate the process of discovery of new adsorbent materials with optimal hydrogen adsorption enthalpies. Density functional…

Motivated by the resurgence of electronic and optical property design in ordered fluoride and oxyfluoride compounds, we present a density functional theory (DFT) study on 19 materials with structures, ranging from simple to complex, and…

We have explored the use of range separation as a possible avenue for further improvement on our revDSD minimally empirical double hybrid functionals. Such $\omega$DSD functionals encompass the XYG3 type of double hybrid (i.e., xDSD) as a…

Double hybrid density functional theory arguably sits on the seamline between wavefunction methods and DFT: it represents a special case of Rung 5 on the "Jacobs Ladder" of John P. Perdew. For large and chemically diverse benchmarks such as…

A large panel of old and recently proposed exchange-correlation functionals belonging to rungs 1 to 4 of Jacob's ladder of density functional theory are tested (with and without a dispersion correction term) for the calculation of the…
