Double‐hybrid density functionals
Abstract
Double‐hybrid density functionals (DHDFs) are reviewed in this study. In DHDFs parts of conventional density functional theory (DFT) exchange and correlation are replaced by contributions from nonlocal Fock‐exchange and second‐order perturbative correlation. The latter portion is based on the well‐known MP2 wave‐function approach in which, however, Kohn–Sham orbitals are used to calculate its contribution. First, related methods preceding this idea are reviewed, followed by a thorough discussion of the first modern double‐hybrid B2‐PLYP. Parallels and differences between B2‐PLYP and its various successors are then outlined. This discussion is rounded off with representative thermochemical examples demonstrating that DHDFs belong to the most robust and accurate DFT approaches currently available. This analysis also presents hitherto unpublished results for recently developed DHDFs. Finally, how double‐hybrids can be combined with linear‐response time‐dependent DFT is also outlined and the value of this approach for electronically excited states is shown.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
