Evaluation of the Density Functional Approximation on the Computation of Hydrogen Bond Interactions Juan J. Novoat and Carlos Sosa* Cray Research, Inc., 655 E Lone Oak Drive, Eagan, Minnesota 55121 Received: April 11, 1995; In Final Form: July 24, 1995@

The intermolecular interaction energies for hydrogen-bonded complexes have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Contributions to the exchange energy were estimated with the Slater-Dirac (S), Becke (B), and Xu functionals. Exchange-correlation effects were estimated with the exchange functional of Becke and the correlation energy functional of Vosko, Wilk, and Nusair (B-VWN), the exchange functional of Becke and the correlation energy functional of Lee, Yang, and Parr (B-LYP), and the Slater-Dirac exchange and Lee Yang and Parr (S-LYP) and Vosko, Wilk, and Nusair correlation functionals (S-VWN). In addition, the hybrid method B3-LYP has been tested. The following complexes were fully optimized with the above functionals: HF-HF, H20-Hz0, C z H r H 2 0 , CK-HzO, and N H 3 - N H 3 . All the optimizations were carried out with Pople's split valence 6-31++G(2d,2p), basis set. For each of these complexes, interaction energies have been calculated using the correlation consistent polarized valence double-zeta (cc-pVDZ), Pople' s split valence (6-3 1++G(2d,2p) and augmented correlation consistent polarized valence triple-zeta (aug-cc-pVTZ) basis sets at the MPn ( n = 2, 3 , and 4) and DFT levels. The importance of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) is addressed for each density functional approximation and basis sets. DFT calculations with small basis sets (cc-pVDZ) are more sensitive to BSSE than MPn methods. The interaction energies of the HFHF, H20-Hz0, C2H2-H20, C&-H20 and NH3-NH3 hydrogen-bonded complexes estimated with B3-LYP/ 6-31++G(2d,2p) are -4.68, -4.82, -2.65, -0.12, and -2.67 kcal/mol, respectively.

Introduction The importance of hydrogen-bonded dimers has become apparent in the last decade. Hydrogen bond interactions are known to play an important role in determining the structure of molecular crystals' and biological systems.2 This has prompted experimentalists3as well as theoritician~~ to focus their attention on these small systems. A wealth of high-level ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been reported for hydrogen-bonded dimerse4 Some of these systems have proven to be highly sensitive to the level of theory and basis sets? They provide rigorous test cases for new methodologies. Density functional theory (DFT)5offers a promising tool that may be applied to large systems. It includes correlation effects in a form in which the cost is only p,where N is the number of basis functions. In practice, the scaling can be This is in contrast to conventional ab initio methods such as MP2 or MP4 that scale as Ns or N ,respectively.6b Also, because of recent developments of analytic gradient techniques? progress in functionals for gradient correction^^^^ to the local spin density (LSD) approximationlo and the availability of versatile software,6a,11the density functional is becoming a popular tool in chemistry. Calculation of thermodynamic data for polyatomic molecules' 1d.12.13 shows that the gradient-corrected functionals provide energetics typically better than the Hartree-Fock (HF) method. The gradient-correctedresults are closer to correlated methods (e.g., MP2) or better.11d In recent papers,I3 we presented systematic studies using density functional methods for bond dissociation, rotational barriers and transition structures. For these systems (single bond breaking), we found that the density functional can be used to study chemical reactivity.

particular, gradient corrections are important in the proper description of the dissociation process. In the present study we extend our studies to include the performance of several DFT functionals for various hydrogenbonded complexes selected to cover interaction energies between HF, H20, and NH3 dimers, CZHZ-H20, and CH4-H20. The goal of this work has been (a) to establish how well the local and gradient-corrected functionals reproduce the MP2 or MP4 interaction energy for a given basis set, (b) to determine the basis set dependence of the DFT functionals and how it compares to MP2, (c) to compute the size of the basis set superpositionerror (BSSE)I4for these functionals compared to the MP2 values and how well it is corrected using the counterpoise method (CP),I5and (d) to determine how well the optimum energy structures compute using DFT compare to the predicted structures using MP2 . The complexes selected here are the HF-HF and Hz0-H20, as examples of moderately strong complexes for which there are estimates of the interaction respectively, corrected energy (4.56 f 0.2916 and 5.4 kcaVm01,~~ for the change in zero-point energies), and the NH3-NH3, CzHz-HzO, and C&-H20 complexes, which are good examples of moderate to weak hydrogen-bonded complexes. In each case, the interaction energies have been computed with medium to large basis sets. Also, basis set superposition errors (BSSE) for the interaction energy were estimated using the CP method.I5 There is still a widespread feeling that the BSSE values obtained using the CP method are only approximate and that this method overestimates the size of the BSSE.IS Recent theoretical studiesIg on van der Waals systems and hydrogenbonded complexes20,21suggest that it is possible to predict interaction energies within experimental uncertainty. They used the CP method in conjunction with a large basis set, i.e., a basis set which is flexible enough to provide a good description of the electrons in both the atomic core and the long-range region of the atoms. These tests have shown that by use of adequate 0 1995 American Chemical Society

This simplifies the analysis since it eliminates differences in the interaction energies that would result from slightly different geometries used with the different methods.

This behavior may be observed in the family of molecules reported by Pople and coworkersasa Their results suggest that adding gradient corrections to only an exchange functional is to elongate bond lengths between two heavy atoms. The opposite effect may be observed when one of the atoms is hydrogen or lithium. Again, opposite effects are observed in both cases when only gradient corrections are added to the correlation functional. Our predicted r(FF) distance with the B3-LYP approximation using aug-cc-pVTZ basis set is 2.726 A. This value is in excellent agreement with MP2 results. It is also within the experimental range for the reported Re value of 2.72 A.36 Similarly, as in previous DFT studies,44d the bond lengths predicted with the local and non-local approximations tend to be shorter than ab initio results carried out at the CISD and ACCD leve1.44bb This difference may be attributed to use of

In order to systematically study the effect of different functionals on the geometries for these complexes (HzO-H~O, CZHZ-H~O, and CH4-H20), we have selected the 6-31++G(2d,2p) basis sets, as previously pointed out. Examination of the results in Tables 2-4 indicate considerable changes in the 4x0)(X = C or 0) distance at the DIT level as different functionals are compared. The trend observed for these water complexes is similar to the trends already pointed out for the HF-HF dimer. Adding gradient corrections to the exchange functional (S-null B-null) tends to elongate the 4 x 0 ) distance. In all the cases B-null overestimatesthe 4 x 0 ) distance when compared to MP2 values. In the case of CH4-H20, B-null overestimates the r(C0) distance by as much as 2.2 A. Fortuitously, S-null predicts r ( X 0 ) distances that are in close agreement with MP2 results. Again, the effect of adding correlation corrections within the electron-gas approximation (local approximation) S-VWN) is to predict 4 x 0 ) distances that are too (S-null short in comparison to MP2 and experimental results where available. The effect of including gradient corrections to the correlation functional is negligible and tends to shorten the 4x0)distance even further. On the other hand, adding gradient corrections on an equal footing (B-LYP and B3-LYP) tend to predict r(X0) distances that are in very good agreement with predicted MP2 distances. C. NH3-NH3. Tables 5 and 6 give parameters of the optimized geometries for NH3 and the NH3-NH3 dimer. The prediction of the structure of the ammonia dimer has proven to be difficult and particularly sensitive to the BSSE.47-49In order to calibrate the B3-LYF' approximationfor the NH3-NH3 dimer, Table 5 summarizes optimized and experimental geometries for the NH3 molecule.

Our best estimated Hartree-Fock-based theoretical parameters for the NH3 geometry are 1.021 4Z 0.007 8, and 105.5" 4Z 1" for the r(NH) and HNH angle, respectively.

This basis set was selected based on previous experience with the HF-HF dimer. None of the X-H-Y hydrogen bonds are collinear (X and Y are the two heavy atoms in each of the XH,-YH, complexes, where X and Y can each be 0 or C), although the deviation from colinearity is negligible for the C2H2-H20 complex (see angle &, Figure 2a).

They concluded that when the basis sets are enlarged with bond functions, the C Z structure ~ becomes more stable. On the other hand, basis sets without bond functions predict the C, structure to be more stable. Recently, Muguet and Robinson49have reported a new method to correct BSSE. In their study they carry out an extensive analysis of the BSSE for the NH3-NH3 dimer and presented a section discussing Tao and K l e m p e r e r ' ~work. ~ ~ ~ The objective of the present study is mainly to calibrate DFT against MPn results for this type of interaction. All the DFT geometries were obtained by reoptimizing Hartree-Fock geometries reported by Frisch et a l . I k Figure 1 illustrates all the optimized parameters for the NH3NH3 dimer. All the calculations carried out with DFT approximations predict a nonlinear hydrogen bond. As in the two previous cases, r(NN) distances predicted with the B-null approximation tend to overestimate the MP2 results by about 0.4-0.5 A. The S-VWN underestimates this distance by 0.282 A when compared to the MP2 distance. B-LYP and B3-LYP approximationspredict r(NN) values that are in close agreement with MP2. In particular, the B3-LYP predicted distance is within 0.03 A of MP2. All the r ( M ) (x = a, b, c, and d) parameters computed with DFT approximations are in good

agreement with MP2 r(NHx) values. The largest discrepancy is for r(NHa) predicted with the S-null approximation. The deviation for this parameter from the MP2 prediction is 0.035 A. Similar trends may be observed for all the angles. Energetics. The total energy (E), and the interaction energies with and without counterpoise corrections (AI3 and hEcp)for HF-HF, H20-Hz0, C ~ H Z - H ~ OC&-H20, , and NH3-NH3 complexes are collected in Tables 7-11. These series of calculations indicate a strong basis set effect for all the methods employed in this study. The basis set dependence of the interaction energy (AE), shown in Figure 3 for the HF dimer, follows the same pattem in all the complexes. The 6-31++G(2d,2p) basis set provides values of hE that are in excellent agreement with the aug-ccpVTZ values. On the other hand, this is not the case for results obtained with smaller basis sets (cc-pVDZ). Although Figure 3 shows similar pattems among all the curves, the interaction energy depends on the density functional approximation. The DFT energy difference between the curves generated using 6-31++G(2d,2p) and aug-cc-pVTZ and the cc-pVDZ basis sets is about twice the difference in the Hartree-Fock or MPn values. Part of this difference may be attributed to the large BSSE when using cc-pVDZ basis sets. DFT approximations tend to be more susceptible to the basis sets truncation than conventional methods for the systems presented in this study (see Figure 4). Although the BSSE of the DFT functionals is almost constant for the 6-3 l++G(2d,2p) or aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets, it oscillates with different functionals for the cc-pVDZ basis set and is larger in the DFT computations. The shape of the BSSE curve shown in Figure 4 follows the same pattem as in

the case of the interaction energy curves, that is, the largest gap between the 6-31++G(2d,2p) and aug-cc-pVTZ and the cc-pVDZ basis sets corresponds to all the points computed using DFT approximations. In general, the BSSE plays an important role in the DFT computations. In the case of the three basis sets employed here, as the basis set quality increases (cc-pVDZ 6-31++G(2d, 2p) aug-cc-pVTZ), the BSSE decreases, although, as in the MPn case, it does not become zero. When the BSSE is corrected, as in the AE,, curves plotted in Figure 5 for the HF dimer, the results become almost identical for the three basis sets and are very close to the uncorrected aug-cc-pVTZ curve (not shown in the plot). In general, it seems that for the selected dimers in this study, CP corrections may be applied to DFT approximations.

At this point, we focus our attention on the aug-cc-pVTZ results. Figure 6 shows AE plotted against all the methods employed here using the aug-cc-pTVZ basis sets. Within each curve the D l T approximations and MPn methods appear to be consistent, the largest discrepanciescorrespond to the interaction energies predicted with B-null, B-VWN, and S-LYP. Similar trends may be observed for the corrected interaction energy plot (see Figure 7). Although not represented here, the cc-pVDZ and 6-31++G(2d,2p) interaction energies follow a similar behavior to that plotted in Figures 6 and 7 for the aug-cc-pVTZ values. Therefore, it is possible to extract general conclusions on how D l T interaction energies compare to the MPn values.

of the basis set employed. At the same time, the MPn results are very similar to the available experimental results. When all the DFT results are compared to the MP2 or MP4 values, we find some interesting tendencies. First of all, we see that independent of the correlation functional employed, all the local functionals (S and X,) provide AE and AEcp values larger than the MPn values, while the functionals that include gradient corrections give smaller values. The inclusion of the VWN local correlation functional increases the interaction energy in all the cases, and the interaction energy is further

increased when the LYP functional is used. The best agreement between the DFT functionals and the MPn interaction energies is found for the hybrid B3-LYP method and the B-LYP, in this order. Interestingly enough, however, the S-null results are also reasonable in some of the cases. The B3-LYP interaction energies are shifted in general by a value of + O S kcdmol to a smaller value, a fact that makes the CW-HzO practically unstable at this level of theory. This is probably one of the weakest hydrogen bonds available and by substitution of a hydrogen by another group is likely to greatly increase the stability of the C-H-0 contact, thus allowing the use of the B3-LYP functional for a correct description of the attractive nature of the contact. We mention here that we have studied the effect of increasing the precision of the numerical integration by increasing the number of points in the grid (by using the tight option), and it is found to be 0.02 kcdmol in the (2%H20 case, ruling out a precision problem as the reason for the negligible stabilization of this complex. We should also mention here that the size of the shift is in good agreement with that reported by Kim and Jordan for the water dimer in their computations.'" The BSSE does not change the presence or the average size of the shift, so it must be attributed to the functional itself.

Conclusion The computations presented here on the HF-HF,Hz0-Hz0, CzH2-H20, Ch-HzO, and NH3-NH3 complexes indicate that the B-LYP and B3-LYP functionals give results closer to experimental and M E values. For this series of systems, B3-

LYP functionals predict geometries and interaction energies that are in better agreement with MP2 geometries and MP4 energetics. The results also show a strong basis sets effect. At least triple-zeta-type basis set are required to reduce the importance of the BSSE in the computed interaction energies. The counterpoise-correctedvalues in all the cases are very close to the best computed uncorrected results. They follow trends similar to the ones obtained at the MP2 level. The basis set is also important to obtain good optimized geometries. Finally, the interaction energies and the optimized geometries show the presence of a general trend for the exchange and correlation functionals with and without gradient corrections: the inclusion of only gradient-corrected exchange functionals tends to overestimate X-Y (X, Y = C, N, 0, and F) distances and underestimate interaction energies. On the other hand, the inclusion of only gradient-corrected correlation functionals shows the opposite effect. For these systems, it has been found that gradient corrections for exchange and correlation are important to compute geometries and interaction energies.
