Why is this benchmark important? Small water clusters are implicated in several contemporary problems: DFT is the most popular theory in electronic structure calculation. Water clusters are hold together by H bonds and H bonds are crucial in innumerous systems. Understanding of bulk water and ice properties. Formation of acid rain. Anomalous absorption of sunlight by clouds. Nucleation of water droplets.

To choose reliable reference Dissociation energy of water dimer by experiment: 216.8 +/- 30 meV. 30 meV is ~15% of total dissociation energy. Experimental Dissociation energies of other small clusters are not available. CCSD(T), regarded as the most accurate ab-initio electronic structure theory. Best dimer dissociation energy: 217.6 +/- 2 meV. Expensive, scales as N 7 (N=number of basis functions). MP2, less expensive (N 5 ) works very well here. Dimer dissociation energy : 215.8+/- 3 meV. For other clusters, MP2 remains always within 3meV of CCSD(T).

How good are the geometries? We have compared various bond lengths and angles of the geometries, all optimized with an aug- cc-pVTZ basis set. All results are quite satisfactory.

Summary of 1 st part Hybrid X3LYP and PBE0 perform the best for the energetics of the H bonds considered here, always being within 10 meV/H bond of MP2. Among the pure GGAs considered mPWLYP and PBE1W perform the best. PBE and PW91 differ by ~12-14 meV/H bond. Variable performances with cluster size lead us to conclude the dimer or trimer is not sufficient to give the general abilities of the functional. All functionals achieve chemical accuracy (1kcal/mol ~ 43 meV). B.Santra, A.Michaelides, and M.Scheffler J. Chem. Phys. (in press)
