Isobe, K. Nakamura, S. Hitosugi, S. Sato, H. Tokoyama, H. Yamakado, K. Ohno and H. Kono, Chem. Sci., 2015, 6, 2746. Chem. Sci.. 2016. Vol. 7, no. 4, p. 2924-2928. DOI 10.1039/c5sc04676a. Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)http://hdl.handle.net/10347/15885The LC-BLYP functional accompanied with proper calculations leads to unreliable results for systems governed by π⋯π interactions. It seems quite clear that a good representation of dispersion interactions is required, so DFT must be supplemented (through the DFT-D formalism or the many-body dispersion method) in order to afford good resultsengThis article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence.
