摘要
(Figure Presented) A theoretical disaster: In contrast to general opinion, modern density functional methods are not able to even qualitatively describe the overall energetics of simple alkylation reactions (see scheme). The main reason is that the currently used hybrid functionals almost completely neglect the generally relevant electron correlation effects for medium-range electron-electron distances. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
