Abstract

We present an extended and improved version of our recently published database for general main group thermochemistry, kinetics, and noncovalent interactions [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2010, 6, 107], which is dubbed GMTKN30. Furthermore, we suggest and investigate two new double-hybrid-meta-GGA density functionals called PTPSS-D3 and PWPB95-D3. PTPSS-D3 is based on reparameterized TPSS exchange and correlation contributions; PWPB95-D3 contains reparameterized PW exchange and B95 parts. Both functionals contain fixed amounts of 50% Fock-exchange. Furthermore, they include a spin-opposite scaled perturbative contribution and are combined with our latest atom-pairwise London-dispersion correction..
