Reduced-Scaling Double Hybrid Density Functional Theory with Rapid Basis Set Convergence through Localized Pair
1Department of Molecular Chemistry and Materials Science, Weizmann Institute of Science, Reḥovot7610001, Israel.
Abstract:
Following earlier work [Mehta, N.; Martin, J. M. L. J. Chem. Theory Comput.2022, 10.1021/acs.jctc.2c00426] that showed how the slow basis set convergence of the double hybrid density functional theory can be obviated by the use of F12 explicit correlation in the GLPT2 step (second order Görling-Levy perturbation theory), we demonstrate here for the very large and chemically diverse GMTKN55 benchmark suite that the CPU time scaling of this step can be reduced (asymptotically linearized) using the localized pair natural orbital (PNO-L) approximation at negligible cost in accuracy.

Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
