Abstract

Increasing awareness that popular functionals fail to describe many
energies accurately has ended expectations of black-box DFT usage. The
performance of nine density functionals, compared by computing the bond
separation energies of 72 illustrative hydrocarbons with available
experimental data, reveals that only Zhao and Truhlar's recently
proposed M05-2X functional, with a 2.13 kcal/mol average deviation from
experiment, performs satisfactorily. B3LYP and other functionals show
larger deviations.
