Can B3LYP be improved by optimization of the proportions of exchange and correlation functionals?

Abstract: B3LYP is the most famous hybrid density functional theory model, which includes Hartree-Fock exchange, local exchange, gradient exchange correction, local correlation, and gradient correlation correction. Historically, the relative weight of each component in B3LYP, which is controlled by three empirical parameters (a 0 , a x , a c ), has not been optimized. In this work, we perform global optimization against accurate experimental reference, optimal empirical parameters, and the better version of B3LYP are ob… Show more

“…It is important to note that the results of the BO are independent of the initial set of points sampled with LHS (Figure ). In ref , the optimization of the free parameters of B-LYP was done with a denser grid (three million calculations). With BO, the total number of calculations is a few thousand, as shown by where M is the number of DF calculations for a single evaluation of and N BO is the number of iterations of BO required to find the minimum of .…”

“…For DF models, the gradient of with respect to any of the free parameters x i may not have a simple analytical form, since it also depends on the physical property (denoted as R m i ) chosen to evaluate the accuracy of the model, which is represented by . Because of the complexity involved in computing the gradient of with respect to x i , grid-search methods are the most common approach used to optimize DF models. , In this work, we present a scheme based on a machine learning (ML) algorithm in order to efficiently screen different DF models.…”

“…A functional enables a function to be mapped to be mapped to a number and producing another numerical outcome. B3LYP is a hybrid DFT model, it comprises of Hartree‐Fock (HF) exchange, gradient exchange correction, local exchange, local correlation and gradient correlation correction [21] . Here, DFT/B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) is used because DFT provides more precise quantum chemical computations in providing electronic structural data of the molecule.…”

“…Table 1 shows the ԑLUMO, ԑHOMO, and ΔE gaps, chemical potential (μ), electronegativity (χ), stiffness (ղ), softness and electrophilicity (ꞷ) of the drugs. These data have been calculated by utilizing B3LYP functional, leading to better geometry optimization results (54). The HOMO-LUMO energy gap determines the molecules' chemical sensitivity, and a large HOMO-LUMO gap refers to low chemical stability with high dynamics (55).…”
