Density functional theory methods were extended for dispersive interactions. B3LYP functional with damping is recommended for water-aromatic interactions, improving accuracy for these systems.

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Quantum chemistry

Background:

  • Density functional theory (DFT) methods require corrections for long-range dispersive interactions.
  • Empirical corrections involve adding a C6r(-6) term, damped at short ranges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate recent DFT methods for describing long-range dispersive interactions.
  • To compare computational results with second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) calculations.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated DFT methods with empirical C6r(-6) corrections.
  • Calculated C6 coefficients from average molecular or atomic polarizabilities.
  • Computed geometry-dependent interaction energy profiles for the water-benzene cluster.

Main Results:

  • The B3LYP functional showed good performance when combined with specific mixing rules and damping functions.
  • Geometry-dependent interaction energy profiles were accurately reproduced.

    • Conclusions:

    • The B3LYP functional is recommended for modeling interactions between water and aromatic systems.
    • The chosen DFT approach provides reliable results for these types of molecular interactions.
