CCL:G: H-bond and dispersion energy



 Sent to CCL by: Jean-Pierre Djukic_HP [djukic#unistra.fr]
 Dear all,
 
Dispersion correction will surely improve the overall geometry of your structure and make the H bonding in question, I assume, "tighter" because of the impact of the correction on the molecule overall. It could be interesting to do calculations with and without any -D correction to figure out the consequence of the correction.
 
There are a host of functionals that can do the job; functionals with suffix D3 , D3(BJ) and dDsC are doing very well in general to produce realistic geometries.
 if not implemented in Gaussian  try to use ORCA.
 Regards,
 JP

 Dear Prof. Zhurko,
 I am NOT sure about the effect of dispersion on hydrogen bond.
 However, dispersion corrections are indeed required in case of
 hydrogen adsorption on some metallic clusters. Recently, we have
 studied the same on small MgO clusters (see, A.K. Srivastava & N.
 Misra (2015): Molecular Simulation, DOI:
 10.1080/08927022.2015.1032278).
 The best choice in this case is PBE-D3 rather than B3LYP-D3 as
 described by Gebhardt et al. (see, Gebhardt J, Vin˜es F, Bleiziffer P,
 Hieringer W, Go¨rling A. Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2014;16:5382 –5392)
 Thanks and regards,
 AKS

 Dear All,
 My first question is, whether the hydrogen bond is a kind of dispersion
 interaction (which can be taken into account by methods like DFT-D)?
 I try to compute a molecule of bilirubin (see the structure below), and I
 found that different DFT functionals give quite different H..O bond lengths
 (from 1.52 to 1.64 A). Which DFT should be chosen? If there is dispersion
 interaction in H-bonds, maybe the best choice will be e.g. B3LYP-D3
 implemented in the latest Gaussian?
