The long-range correction (LC) for treating electron exchange in density functional theory, combined with the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (BLYP) exchange-correlation functional, was used to determine (hyper)polarizabilities of polydiacetylene/polybutatriene oligomers. In comparison with coupled-cluster calculations including single and double excitations as well as a perturbative treatment of triple excitations, our values indicate that the tendency of conventional functionals to result in a catastrophic overshoot for these properties is alleviated but not eliminated. No clear-cut preference for LC-BLYP over Hartree-Fock values is obtained. This analysis is consistent with the calculations of Sekino [J. Chem. Phys. 126, 014107 (2007)] on polyacetylene and molecular hydrogen oligomers. Thus, the performance of LC-BLYP with regard to (hyper)polarizabilities of quasilinear conjugated systems is now well characterized. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
