Summary: H-bonding energy calculation using DFT

Dear CCLers,
 Thanks Wolfgang Roth, Andrew T Pudzianowski, David Power, Marc Walter
 and Jim Kress for their response.  Thank you very much.
 My previous question is:
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 Recently, we are calculating the dissociation process of H-bonded complexes.  We
 would like to know the major concerns on the H-bonded complexes using the DFT
 method.  Any recommentation on the literature article is greatly appreciated.
 Thank you very much.

 If you speak of DFT I assume you mean the Kohn-Sham approach incroporated
 in most common ab initio programs. This ansatz is base on non-interacting
 ONE-electron (Kohn-Sham)orbitals. According to the Ref. above you cannot
 get any dispersion energy from that!

 I published the following paper a few years ago: A. T. Pudzianowski, "A
 Systematic Appraisal of Density Functional Methodologies for Hydrogen Bonding in
 Binary Ionic Complexes," J. Phys. Chem. 100, 4781-4789 (1996). It compares
 DFT methods for strong H-bonded complexes, but it does review the more general
 DFT
 literature up to 1996 and provides a few contemporary references. It may be
 helpful to you.

         Steven Kass wrote a very nice paper testing almost all of the DFT
 methods regarding their accuracy in calculating proton affinities.
