Density functional localized orbital corrections for transition metals.

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the development of the B3LYP localized orbital correction model which improves the accuracy of the B3LYP thermochemical predictions for compounds containing transition metals. The development of this model employs a large data set containing 36 experimental atomic energies and 71 bond dissociation energies. B3LYP calculations were carried out on these systems with different basis sets. Based on an electronic structure analysis and physical arguments, we built a set of 10 parameters to correct atomic data and a set of 21 parameters to correct bond dissociation energies. Using the results from our biggest basis set, the model was shown to reduce the mean absolute deviation from 7.7 to 0.4 kcalmol for the atomic data and from 5.3 to 1.7 kcalmol for the bond dissociation energies. The model was also tested using a second basis set and was shown to give relatively accurate results too. The model was also able to predict an outlier in the experimental data that was further investigated with high level coupled-cluster calculations.

Continuous Localized Orbital Corrections to Density Functional Theory: B3LYP-CLOC.

Project description:Our previous works have demonstrated the ability of our localized orbital correction (LOC) methodology to greatly improve the accuracy of various thermochemical properties at the stationary points of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) reaction coordinate (RC). Herein we extend this methodology from stationary points to the entire RC connecting any stationary points by developing continuous localized orbital corrections (CLOCs). We show that the resultant method, DFT-CLOC, is capable of producing RCs with far greater accuracy than uncorrected DFT and yet requires negligible computational cost beyond the uncorrected DFT calculations. Various post-Hartree-Fock (post-HF) reaction coordinate profiles were used, including a sigmatropic shift, Diels-Alder reaction, electrocyclization, carbon radical and three hydrogen radical reactions to show that this method is robust across multiple reaction types of general interest.

Localized orbital corrections for the calculation of barrier heights in density functional theory.

Project description:This work describes the extension of a previously reported empirical localized orbital correction model for density functional theory (DFT-LOC) for atomization energies, ionization potentials, electron affinities, and reaction enthalpies to the correction of barrier heights for chemical reactions of various types including cycloadditions, cycloreversions, dipolar cycloadditions, S(N)2's, carbon radical reactions, hydrogen radical reactions, sigmatropic shifts, and electrocyclizations. The B3LYP localized orbital correction version of the model (B3LYP-LOC) reduces the number of outliers and overall mean unsigned error (MUE) vs. experiment or ab initio values from 3.2 to 1.3 kcal/mole for barrier heights and from 5.1 to 1.1 kcal/mole for reaction enthalpies versus B3LYP. Furthermore, the new model has essentially zero additional computational cost beyond standard DFT calculations. Although the model is heuristic and is based on multiple linear regression to experimental or ab initio data, each of the parameters is justified on chemical grounds and provides insight into the fundamental limitations of DFT, most importantly the failure of current DFT methods to accurately account for nondynamical electron correlation.

Localized orbital corrections applied to thermochemical errors in density functional theory: The role of basis set and application to molecular reactions.

Project description:This paper is a logical continuation of the 22 parameter, localized orbital correction (LOC) methodology that we developed in previous papers [R. A. Friesner et al., J. Chem. Phys. 125, 124107 (2006); E. H. Knoll and R. A. Friesner, J. Phys. Chem. B 110, 18787 (2006).] This methodology allows one to redress systematic density functional theory (DFT) errors, rooted in DFT's inherent inability to accurately describe nondynamical correlation. Variants of the LOC scheme, in conjunction with B3LYP (denoted as B3LYP-LOC), were previously applied to enthalpies of formation, ionization potentials, and electron affinities and showed impressive reduction in the errors. In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time that the B3LYP-LOC scheme is robust across different basis sets [6-31G( *), 6-311++G(3df,3pd), cc-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ] and reaction types (atomization reactions and molecular reactions). For example, for a test set of 70 molecular reactions, the LOC scheme reduces their mean unsigned error from 4.7 kcal/mol [obtained with B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd)] to 0.8 kcal/mol. We also verified whether the LOC methodology would be equally successful if applied to the promising M05-2X functional. We conclude that although M05-2X produces better reaction enthalpies than B3LYP, the LOC scheme does not combine nearly as successfully with M05-2X than with B3LYP. A brief analysis of another functional, M06-2X, reveals that it is more accurate than M05-2X but its combination with LOC still cannot compete in accuracy with B3LYP-LOC. Indeed, B3LYP-LOC remains the best method of computing reaction enthalpies.

Revisiting the Hole Size in Double Helical DNA with Localized Orbital Scaling Corrections.

Project description:The extent of electronic wave function delocalization for the charge carrier (electron or hole) in double helical DNA plays an important role in determining the DNA charge transfer mechanism and kinetics. The size of the charge carrier's wave function delocalization is regulated by the solvation induced localization and the quantum delocalization among the π stacked base pairs at any instant of time. Using a newly developed localized orbital scaling correction (LOSC) density functional theory method, we accurately characterized the quantum delocalization of the hole wave function in double helical B-DNA. This approach can be used to diagnose the extent of delocalization in fluctuating DNA structures. Our studies indicate that the hole state tends to delocalize among 4 guanine-cytosine (GC) base pairs and among 3 adenine-thymine (AT) base pairs when these adjacent bases fluctuate into degeneracy. The relatively small delocalization in AT base pairs is caused by the weaker π-π interaction. This extent of delocalization has significant implications for assessing the role of coherent, incoherent, or flickering coherent carrier transport in DNA.

Nonlocal pseudopotential energy density functional for orbital-free density functional theory.

Project description:Orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) is an electronic structure method with a low computational cost that scales linearly with the number of simulated atoms, making it suitable for large-scale material simulations. It is generally considered that OF-DFT strictly requires the use of local pseudopotentials, rather than orbital-dependent nonlocal pseudopotentials, for the calculation of electron-ion interaction energies, as no orbitals are available. This is unfortunate situation since the nonlocal pseudopotentials are known to give much better transferability and calculation accuracy than local ones. We report here the development of a theoretical scheme that allows the direct use of nonlocal pseudopotentials in OF-DFT. In this scheme, a nonlocal pseudopotential energy density functional is derived by the projection of nonlocal pseudopotential onto the non-interacting density matrix (instead of "orbitals") that can be approximated explicitly as a functional of electron density. Our development defies the belief that nonlocal pseudopotentials are not applicable to OF-DFT, leading to the creation for an alternate theoretical framework of OF-DFT that works superior to the traditional approach.

Self-Consistent Calculation of the Localized Orbital Scaling Correction for Correct Electron Densities and Energy-Level Alignments in Density Functional Theory.

Project description:The recently developed localized orbital scaling correction (LOSC) method shows the ability to systematically and size-consistently reduce the delocalization error existing in conventional density functional approximations (DFAs). However, the application of LOSC to DFAs was mainly through a post self-consistent field (SCF) manner, and few results from applying LOSC to DFAs in an SCF manner have been reported. The reason is that the originally proposed SCF approach to SCF-LOSC calculation uses an approximate Hamiltonian and encounters convergence problems easily in practice. In this work, we develop a new SCF approach with a correct Hamiltonian and achieve reliable SCF-LOSC calculations. We demonstrate the capability of the new SCF approach for SCF-LOSC to correctly describe the electron densities, total energies, and energy-level alignment for the molecular dissociation process, while conventional DFAs or LOSC-DFAs with post-SCF calculations show large errors. This work demonstrates that the new SCF approach for SCF-LOSC would be a promising method for studying problems for correct electron densities and energy-level alignments in large systems.

Random Structure Searching with Orbital-Free Density Functional Theory.

Project description:The properties of a material depend on how its atoms are arranged, and predicting these arrangements from first principles is a longstanding challenge. Orbital-free density functional theory provides a quantum-mechanical model based solely on the electron density, not individual wave functions. The resulting speedups make it attractive for random structure searching, whereby random configurations of atoms are relaxed to local minima in the energy landscape. We use this strategy to map the low-energy crystal structures of Li, Na, Mg, and Al at zero pressure. For Li and Na, our searching finds numerous close-packed polytypes of almost-equal energy, consistent with previous efforts to understand their low-temperature forms. For Mg and Al, the searching identifies the expected ground state structures unambiguously, in addition to revealing other low-energy structures. This new role for orbital-free density functional theory-particularly as continued advances make it accurate for more of the periodic table-will expedite crystal structure prediction over wide ranges of compositions and pressures.

Exact Second-Order Corrections and Accurate Quasiparticle Energy Calculations in Density Functional Theory.

Project description:We develop a second-order correction to commonly used density functional approximations (DFAs) to eliminate the systematic delocalization error. The method, based on the previously developed global scaling correction (GSC), is an exact quadratic correction to the DFA for the fractional charge behavior and uses the analytical second derivatives of the total energy with respect to fractional occupation numbers of the canonical molecular orbitals. For small and medium-size molecules, this correction leads to ground-state orbital energies that are a highly accurate approximation to the corresponding quasiparticle energies. It provides excellent predictions of ionization potentials, electron affinities, photoemission spectrum, and photoexcitation energies beyond previous approximate second-order approaches, thus showing potential for broad applications in computational spectroscopy.

Alkaline Earth Metals Activate N<sub>2</sub> and CO in Cubic Complexes Just Like Transition Metals: A Conceptual Density Functional Theory and Energy Decomposition Analysis Study.

Project description:Following the recent discovery of stable octa-coordinated alkaline earth metals with N2 and CO, the role of group II metals in the catalytic reduction of these ligands by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and conceptual DFT-based reactivity indices is investigated. Cubic group IV and octahedral group VI transition metal complexes as well as the free ligands are computed for reference. The outer and most accessible atoms of N2 and CO become much more nucleophilic and electrophilic in all complexes, relevant for N2 fixation, as probed by the Fukui function and local softness. Within one row of the periodic table, the alkaline earth complexes often show the strongest activation. On the contrary, the electrostatic character is found to be virtually unaffected by complexation. Trends in the soft frontier orbital and hard electrostatic character are in agreement with calculated proton affinities and energy decomposition analyses of the protonated structures, demonstrating the dominance of the soft (HOMO-LUMO) orbital interactions.

Machine Learning Approaches toward Orbital-free Density Functional Theory: Simultaneous Training on the Kinetic Energy Density Functional and Its Functional Derivative.

Project description:Orbital-free approaches might offer a way to boost the applicability of density functional theory by orders of magnitude in system size. An important ingredient for this endeavor is the kinetic energy density functional. Snyder et al. [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 2012, 108, 253002] presented a machine learning approximation for this functional achieving chemical accuracy on a one-dimensional model system. However, a poor performance with respect to the functional derivative, a crucial element in iterative energy minimization procedures, enforced the application of a computationally expensive projection method. In this work we circumvent this issue by including the functional derivative into the training of various machine learning models. Besides kernel ridge regression, the original method of choice, we also test the performance of convolutional neural network techniques borrowed from the field of image recognition.
