Abstract
By incorporating the improved empirical atom-atom dispersion corrections from DFT-D3 [Grimme, S.; Antony, J.; Ehrlich, S.; Krieg, H. J. Chem. Phys.2010, 132, 154104], two long-range corrected (LC) hybrid density functionals are proposed. Our resulting LC hybrid functionals, ωM06-D3 and ωB97X-D3, are shown to be accurate for a very wide range of applications, such as thermochemistry, kinetics, noncovalent interactions, frontier orbital energies, fundamental gaps, and long-range charge-transfer excitations, when compared with common global and LC hybrid functionals. Relative to ωB97X-D [Chai, J.-D.; Head-Gordon, M. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys.2008, 10, 6615], ωB97X-D3 (reoptimization of ωB97X-D with improved dispersion corrections) is shown to be superior for nonbonded interactions, and similar in performance for bonded interactions, while ωM06-D3 is shown to be superior for general applications.
