While density functional theory (DFT) allows accurate quantum mechanical simulations from first principles in molecules and solids, commonly used exchange-correlation density functionals provide a very incomplete description of dispersion interactions. One way to include such interactions is to augment the DFT energy expression by damped London energy expressions. Several variants of this have been developed for this task, which we discuss and compare in this paper. We have implemented these schemes in the ONETEP program, which is capable of DFT calculations with computational cost that increases linearly with the number of atoms. We have optimized all the parameters involved in our implementation of the dispersion correction, with the aim of simulating biomolecular systems. Our tests show that in cases where dispersion interactions are important this approach produces binding energies and molecular structures of a quality comparable with high-level wavefunction-based approaches.

Equilibrium Structures

Density functional theory calculations on E(SbMe2)2, E = S or Te, Me = CH3, indicate that the equilibrium structures are syn-syn or near syn-syn conformers with overall C2v or C2 symmetry. The calculations further indicate the existence of syn-anti conformers about 4 kJ mol-1 (E = S) or 1 kJ m ol-1 (E = Te) above the equilibrium structure. G as electron diffraction data show that both conform ers are present in gaseous S(SbMe2)2, while the presence of the syn-anti conformer in gaseous Te(SbMe2)2 is uncertain. The Sb - S and Sb - Te bond distances are 241.4(4) and 278.1(3) pm, respectively, the valence angles of the synsyn conformers are <SbSSb = 9 8.7(5)° and <SbTeSb = 91(2)°.
