Title: Note: The performance of new density functionals for a recent blind test of non-covalent interactions

Abstract

Benchmark datasets of non-covalent interactions are essential for assessing the performance of density functionals and other quantum chemistry approaches. In a recent blind test, Taylor et al. benchmarked 14 methods on a new dataset consisting of 10 dimer potential energy curves calculated using coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) at the complete basis set (CBS) limit (80 data points in total). Finally, the dataset is particularly interesting because compressed, near-equilibrium, and stretched regions of the potential energy surface are extensively sampled.
