Noncovalent Interactions in SIESTA Using the vdW-DF Functional: S22 Benchmark and Macrocyclic Structures

We investigate the performance of the vdW-DF functional of Dion et al. implemented in the SIESTA code. In particular, the S22 data set and several calixarene-based host–guest structures are examined to assess the performance of the functional. The binding energy error statistics for the S22 data set...
