  2. Most valuable feature of DFT for structural chemistry is its success in quantitatively predicting equilibrium structures (typically ~ 1-2%). Remains a major theoretical challenge Dissociation energy much less dramatic (typically ± 10%) Ability of DFT to economically describe molecules with up to 103 to 104 atoms as well as extensive systems (solids, liquids) Relation to “Nearsightedness: Application to Drug Design
