The accuracy of predicted hydrogen binding energies and equilibrium structures for a benchmark set of molecules is compared for some recently developed density functionals, Becke's three parameter hybrid method with the Lee, Yang, and Parr (LYP) correlation functional: (B3LYP), Becke's half and half functional combined with the LYP correlation functional (BHLYP), Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof functional (PBE), Van Voorhis, Scuseria exchange correlation functional (VSXC), the hybrid Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof functional (PBE1PBE), and meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA). Overall. the hybrid functionals which contain a portion of Hartree-Fock exchange (B3LYP, BHLYP, and PBE1PBE) yield the most accurate results. The kinetic-energy-density-dependent functionals, VSXC and meta-GGA, are significantly less accurate.
