I sent a message about hydrogen bond calculation by DFT to CCL several
days ago. I've got many helpful replies. Now I summarize them below.
Hi, everyone,
I know most of DFT methods are not good to the calculation of Hydrogen
Bonding. But a friend of mine told me somebody developed a DFT method
that can be used in HB calculations. What is this method?
Are there some papers using different methods (DFT methods preferred) to
calculate HB and systematically compare them? Any advice is helpful.
Thanks in Advance
Yubo Fan

Hello. I had a couple of such publications a few years back. They are as
follows:
A. T. Pudzianowski, "A Systematic Appraisal of Density Functional
Methodologies
for Hydrogen Bonding in Binary Ionic Complexes," J. Phys. Chem.
100(12),
4781-4789 (1996)
A. T. Pudzianowski, "Current Computational Approaches to The Strong
Hydrogen
Bond," Rec. Res. Devel. in Physical Chem. 1, 81-97 (1997).
Both of these deal with the strong H-bond, but there are plenty of
references to
other situations. The latter reference is a review article, so there is
lots of
related information. It appears in a volume published in India, so it
may be
hard to find. Let me know if you'd like reprints and I'll send them
along.
Regards,
Andrew Pudzianowski

hi Yubo,
check B(M)LYP functional which was developed for such calculations
(references in the paper enclosed). It's essentially B3LYP whith HF
exchange
increased to 35%. I've tested it on OH- hydration and it performed quite
well.
Cheers,
Piotr

Hi
Re: your question to CCL concerning h-bonding and dft.
We have been working on a number of H-bonded clusters involving
water and have found that the (generally popular) B3LYP method
and others give too high "binding".
It is suggested that the HTCH functional could be good - this is
probably the one you are thinking of. A ref you might find useful is:
Tuma, Christian; Daniel Boese, A.; Handy, Nicholas C..
Predicting the binding energies of H-bonded complexes: A

131:342144 AN 1999:538455 CAPLUS
and other papers by Handy describing the development of new
exchange-correlation functionals.
I would be grateful if you summarize or email me any interesting
information you get.
Cheers,
Tim

Yubo,
actually some of the hybrid DFT does pretty well
for H-bonds. Something like B3LYP/6-31+G* gets the
water dimer interaction right to about 0.5 kcal/mol.

Dear Yubo,
I'd say it depends a bit on the system.
If the nature of the hydrogen bond is mainly electrostatic,
then gradient-corrected and hybrid functional do a reasonably good job.
If the nature of the hydrogen bond is mainly
dispersive, then DFT won't work.
Best regards
Klaus

Dear Yubo,
actually, DFT methods are not really bad for hydrogen bonding,
they are just really bad in treating dispersion. They overestimate the
electrostatic attraction in order to compensate for the lack of proper
treatment of electron correlation. For H-bonded systems, using the
B3LYP density functional and the 6-31G(d,p) basis set, you can obtain
with quite reasonable geometries and interaction energies.
Usually H-bonds are about 0.03A shorter than the they would be when
you optimise them with MP2 method and interaction energies are about
5% larger.
Density functional calculations on H-bonded systems have been
carried out in:

Dear Yubo Fan:
The following paper might be of interest to you:
J. Spanget-Larsen: "Infrared absorption and Raman scattering of
(Z)-3-hydroxypropenal. A density functional theoretical study",
Chemical Physics 240 (1999) 51-61.
A number of standard DFT procedures (BLYP, BPW91, B3LYP, B3PW91) are
applied in
a study of molecular and vibrational structure of 3-hydroxypropenal
(malonaldehyd enol), probably the simplest species with an
intramolecular O..H-O
hydrogen-bond.
