Density-Corrected DFT Explained: Questions and Answers

Suhwan Song et al.

Summary: HF-DFT is a common method for evaluating approximate density functionals, while DC-DFT is a theoretical framework for identifying failures of density functional approximations. Research on HF-DFT has found that in certain cases, using HF densities instead of self-consistent densities can provide more accurate and consistent energy results. A recent study reanalyzed HF-DFT and showed that DC(HF)-DFT substantially improves DFT results when SC densities are flawed.

Dispersion corrected r2SCAN based global hybrid functionals: r2SCANh, r2SCAN0, and r2SCAN50

Markus Bursch et al.

Summary: The regularized and restored semilocal meta-GGA exchange-correlation functional r(2)SCAN is combined with varying admixtures of Hartree-Fock exact exchange to create three global hybrid functionals. The performance of these functionals is evaluated for molecular geometries, main-group, and metalorganic thermochemistry. The results show that a moderate admixture of Hartree-Fock exchange leads to improved accuracy in thermochemistry calculations, particularly for organometallic reaction energies and barriers.

Fast and Accurate Quantum Mechanical Modeling of Large Molecular Systems Using Small Basis Set Hartree-Fock Methods Corrected with Atom-Centered Potentials

Viki Kumar Prasad et al.

Summary: In this study, a new low-cost quantum mechanical method using atom-centered potentials (ACPs) was developed to model large molecular systems. Machine learning regression technique was utilized to train and validate the ACP-corrected methods. The proposed ACP-corrected methods showed comparable performance to complete basis set density functional theory at a much lower cost, and could improve the description of covalent and noncovalent bond geometries.

Summary: The H center dot transfer rate constants of a series of group 6 molybdenum and tungsten pyrazolyl borate complexes were studied, showing a wide range of rate constants spanning over 1 magnitude. Analysis indicated that a combination of steric, electronic, and enthalpic factors are important in these reactions, and the generated 17 e(-) radicals of these complexes are less electrophilic compared to CpCr(CO)(3)H complexes. General implications for H center dot transfer reactions were discussed.

Summary: Researchers have discovered a molecule displaying a tellurium-nitrogen interaction, with structural data indicating an increase in the Te-N equilibrium distance. While some DFT calculations suggest a larger distance in gas phase, high-level calculations point to a smaller distance in the isolated molecule. This discrepancy may be attributed to incomplete description of finite-temperature effects.
