Abstract
EA-EOM-CCSD electron affinities and LUMO energies of various Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) methods are calculated for an a priori IP benchmark set of 64 small, closed-shell molecules. The purpose of these calculations was to investigate whether the QTP KS-DFT functionals can emulate EA-EOM-CC with only a mean-field approximation. We show that the accuracy of DFT-relative to CCSD-improves significantly when elements of correlated orbital theory are introduced into the parameterization to define the QTP family of functionals. In particular, QTP(02), which has only a single range separation parameter, provides results accurate to a MAD of <0.15eV for the whole set of 64 molecules compared to EA-EOM-CCSD, far exceeding the results from the non-QTP family of density functionals.
