  3. Development and Implementation of Modern Density Functional Methods for Property Calculations Martin Kaupp, Alexei V. Arbuznikov Universität Würzburg Planned work and work in progress: -„double local hybrid“ potentials (position-dependent EXX admixture) -work towards a self-consistent implementation of Becke‘s nondynamical correlation model -implementation of OEP-based potentials into a relativistic non-collinear 2-component ansatz SPP1145 Antragskolloquium, Bonn, 4.6.2005

  4. The Reasonable Performance of Hybrid Functionals: A Starting Point -Ex covers about 85-95% of Exc -exact exchange is self-interaction-free -based on 100% exact exchange, inclusion of nondynamical correlation is difficult; typical Ec cover only dynamical correlation -approximate LDA- or GGA-type Ex functionals include spurios self-interactions but also significant non-dynamical correlation • appropriate mixing of GGA and exact exchange provides a reasonable compromise between minimizing self-interaction and including non-dynamical correlation

  27. Hybrid functionals (traditional implementation) • Attractive points: • yield very accurate thermochemical properties and molecular structures (B3LYP, …); • the only way (currently) to get reasonable magnetic-resonance parameters for transition-metal complexes • Disadvantages: • step outside the Kohn-Sham formalism in an uncontrolled way; • lead to a computationally demanding iterative procedure in the perturbational calculation of the properties like nuclear shielding constants and electronic g-tensors (coupled-perturbed equations); • clear relation between the quality of the orbitals and orbital energies, and the quality of the NMR parameters is lost; • yield significantly too deshielded values for nuclear shieldings of main-group molecules.

Chem.2003, 119, 2972. • suggested as part of a model of nondynamical • correlation. (inverted machinery of the BRx89 functional A. D. Becke, M. R. Roussel Phys. Rev A 1989, 39, 3761). curvature of exchange hole Example: O3 molecule Slater potential

  49. Next things to do: • -self-consistent implementation of „double local hybrid potentials“ • self-consistent implementation of Becke‘s „coordinate-space“ • model of nondynamical correlation • -combination of localized hybrid potentials with two-component • relativistic calculations of MR parameters, based on the • Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian (non-collinear)
