Chem. Chem. Phys. 2023, 25, 28621–28637]. Inclusion of Hartree-Fock exchange, via either a global or range-separated hybrid approach or inclusion of empirical dispersion corrections, increases accuracy for total and three-body interactions. Basis set convergence testing shows that the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set is well converged with little to no change seen when using quadruple-ζ basis sets. The accuracy of the DFT methods is similar when calculating interaction energies for both global and local minimum structures. Overall, the CAM-B3LYP-D3BJ, B97D3, and ωB97XD functionals are recommended for calculating three-body interactions.
