When the bond lengths of 11 molecules containing van der Waals bonds are optimized by 572 methods and 20 basis sets, it is found that the best mean absolute deviations (MADs) of density-functional theory (DFT) methods are 0.005 Å (shown by APFD/6-311++G**), 0.007 Å (B2PLYPD3(Full)/aug-cc-pVQZ), and 0.010 Å (revDSDPBEP86/aug-cc-pVQZ), while the best MADs of ab initio methods are 0.008 Å (BD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ) and 0.016 Å (MP4/aug-cc-pVQZ). Moreover, the best MADs calculated by 54 selected methods in combination with 60 other basis sets (such as 6-311++G, 6-31++G(3d'f,3p'd), and UGBS1V++) are not better. Therefore, these bond lengths can be calculated with extremely high accuracy by some special methods and basis sets, and CCSD(T) is also not as good as expected because its best MAD is only 0.023 Å (CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ).

The research and development of the green synthesis route of chemicals has become the focus of research in academia and industry. At present, the highly efficient oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde over non-precious metal catalysts under mild conditions is most promising, but remains a big challenge. Herein, the Mo-Sn oxide catalyst was designed to successfully realize low-temperature oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde, achieving an acetaldehyde selectivity of 89.

Photolysis of energetic materials offers safer and more controllable advantages compared to traditional ignition methods. Tracking the group and electron dynamics during the photolysis of energetic materials is currently a hot and challenging topic. In this work, we used a time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to study the high-order Harmonic generation (HHG) dynamics induced by strong laser interaction with an isolated CHNO molecule with varying C-N bond lengths.

The structures and rotational constants of prototypical monocyclic terpenes and terpenoids have been analyzed by a general computational strategy based on recent Pisa composite schemes (PCS) and vibrational perturbation theory at second order (VPT2). Concerning equilibrium geometries, a one-parameter empirical correction is added to bond lengths obtained by the revDSD-PBEP86 double hybrid functional in conjunction with a slightly modified cc-pVTZ-F12 basis set. The same functional and basis set give accurate harmonic frequencies, whereas the cheaper B3LYP hybrid functional in conjunction with a double-ζ basis set is employed to compute the semidiagonal cubic force constants needed to obtain vibrational corrections to the rotational constants in the framework of the VPT2 model.
