D. Nachtigallova et al., RELIABILITY OF DFT METHODS FOR DESCRIPTION OF CU SITES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH NO IN ZEOLITES, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 63(8), 1998, pp. 1202-1212
The reliability of various DFT functionals for description of Cu sites
and their interaction with NO in zeolites is tested. The dissociation
energies of Cun+H2O and Cun+NO systems calculated with various DFT fu
nctionals are compared with those obtained at the MP2 and CCSD(T) leve
ls of theory. It is concluded that hybrid density functional (B3LYP) g
ives reliable description of studied systems, while LDA seriously over
estimates dissociation energies.
