Abstract
Multiplicative potentials, appropriate for adding to the non- multiplicative fractional orbital exchange term in the Kohn- Sham equations, are determined from correlated ab initio electron densities. The potentials are examined graphically and are used in conjunction with conventional thermochemical data to determine a new hybrid exchange-correlation functional, denoted B97-2. Calculations using B97-2 are compared with those from (a) the B97-1 functional [J. Chem. Phys. 109, 6264 (1998)], which has the same functional form and fraction of orbital exchange, but was fitted to just thermochemical data; and (b) the widely used B3LYP functional [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 5648 (1993)]. B97-2 atomization energies are close to those from B97-1; total electronic energies and ionization potentials are less accurate, but remain an improvement over B3LYP. Molecular structures from all three functionals are comparable. Static isotropic polarizabilities improve from B3LYP to B97-1 to B97-2; the B97-2 functional underestimates experimental values, which is consistent with the neglect of zero-point vibrational corrections. NMR shielding constants-determined as the conventional second derivative of the electronic energy- improve from B3LYP to B97-1 to B97-2. Shieldings determined directly from these DFT electron densities using the recently proposed MKS approach [Chem. Phys. Lett. 337, 341 (2001)] are two to three times more accurate than the conventional shieldings, and exhibit an analogous improvement across the three functionals. Classical reaction barriers for sixteen chemical reactions improve significantly from B3LYP to B97-1 to B97-2. The introduction of multiplicative potentials into semi- empirical hybrid functional development therefore appears beneficial.
