Concerns on the current level of theory

  • We do not know how well DZVP performs for charged molecules, and for properties other than conformational energies.

  • DZVP results are less accurate than literature for medium/large systems largely due to lack of DZVP-specific dispersion parameters and three-body term.

  • The need of inclusion of diffuse function: diffuse functions are for describing anions or dipole moments and for accurate modeling of intra- and inter-molecular bonding.

Questions

  1. other functionals/ basis sets to test?

    1. wB97X-D3

  2. Is MP2/heavy-aug-cc-pVTZ reasonable for reference? (too expensive?)

  • A wall time for a single gradient calculation of FGG114: 273110 seconds (~ 3 days )
