摘要

The utility of several nonhybrid density functional approximations (DFAs) is considered for the prediction of gas phase enthalpies of formation for a large set of 3d transition metal-containing molecules. Nonhybrid DFAs can model thermochemical values for 3d transition metal-containing molecules with accuracy comparable to that of hybrid functionals. The GAM-generalized gradient approximation (GGA); the TPSS, M06-L, and MN15-L meta-GGAs; and the Rung 3.5 PBE+IILDA(s) DFAs all give root-mean-square deviations below that of the widely used B3LYP hybrid. Modern nonhybrid DFAs continue to show utility for transition metal thermochemistry.
