The role of density functional theory in chemistry: Some historical landmarks and applications to zeolites

Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) has progressively emerged in the last 40 years as a leading methodology for the modelling and simulation of chemical systems. In this paper, some historical landmarks in the development of this method are outlined, emphasizing on its main characteristic being an electron density-based theory. This is in contrast with wavefunction-based methodologies which were exclusively employed previously. Interestingly, DFT has been first applied to solids, with a rather late recognition by … Show more

“…6 2015 TOPAL et al tional Theory (DFT) in the computational chemistry are important tools to predict the structural and vibrational properties of the molecules. These calculation methods are extensively used to study some physical and chemical properties of the materials and chemical compounds [17,18]. The solution of the electronic Schrödinger equation is essential to the applications of these methods to chemical problems in the ab initio calculations.…”

“…Theoretical studies based on quantum mechanics are used to obtain information on some physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds (15,16). For example, vibration spectroscopy is versatile and an easily available tool to interpret and predict the properties of chemically and biologically active molecules.…”

“…The ground-state energy can be obtained variationally; the density that minimizes the total energy is the exact ground state density ρ o (r). That is, for a trial electron density ρ t (r); W. Kohn and L. J. Sham [20] developed the Hohenberg-Kohn theorems to calculate the ground-state energy by consider a non-interacting particles system that generate the same density as any given system of interacting particles [21]. Thus, a general Kohn-Sham energy E KS [ρ] formulation of DFT is [22], where, T s [ρ] is the kinetic energy of the non-interacting system, J[ρ] is the classical coulomb repulsion energy, and E xc [ρ] is the exchange-correlation energy.…”
