Dispersion with fixed diagonal matrices: Exchange energy correction and an assessment of the Becke-Roussel exchange
1Department of Chemistry, Nanoscience Center, University of Jyväskylä, 40014 Jyväskylä, Finland.
Abstract:
An exchange-correction to the fixed diagonal matrices (FDM) method is introduced to improve accuracy when employing a single reference wavefunction. In addition, the performance of the Becke-Roussel exchange-hole in approximating the pair density-mediated integrals was explored. With the exchange-correction, the FDM procedure yields dispersion coefficients for closed-shell atoms on par with highly correlated methods when using only Hartree-Fock or Kohn-Sham pair density. Conversely, the Becke-Roussel exchange-hole results in an overestimation of the dispersion coefficients for closed-shell atoms; however, the performance of the Becke-Roussel model can be improved by scaling the multipole moment integrals by a fixed amount. For both the exchange-correction and the Becke-Roussel model, the FDM method continues to fail for open-shell atoms and ions by consistently underestimating the dispersion coefficients.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
