## Abstract Various density functionals are applied to a number of weakly bound intermolecular π–π charge‐transfer (CT) complexes. Most functionals, including the recently developed __m__PWPW91 and __m__PW1PW91, grossly underestimate experimental excitation energies; good agreement is obtained only

✦ Synopsis
Most variants of density functional theory (DFF) yield a proton transfer barrier in (F • • -H ---F)-which is considerably smaller than the best correlated conventional ab initio results, with a large polarized basis set. The agreement is best for DFT methods with nonlocal exchange and correlation functionals, especially hybrid approaches which mix Hartree-Fock and Slater exchange. For all methods investigated, there is a close inverse relationship between the height of the barrier and the optimized r(FH).

The hybrid density functional theory (DFT) has been applied to model the proton transfer reaction between methane and methyl radicals. The obtained results were compared with the ROHF and MP2 ab initio calculations and the experimental results. Several basis sets from 6-31G(d) to 6-311 + + G(3df, 3p
## Abstract The behaviors of a large number of GGA, meta‐GGA, and hybrid‐GGA density functionals in describing the spin‐state energetics of iron porphyrins and related compounds have been investigated. There is a large variation in performance between the various functionals for the calculations of
A potential energy model is developed to study the intramolecular proton transfer in the enol form of acetylacetone. It makes use of the empirical valence bond approach developed by Warshel to combine standard molecular mechanics potentials for the reactant and product states to reproduce the interc
