Database overview

 

á      BH6 database

 

The coordinates of the structures for the BH6 barrier height database can be obtained from the supporting information of the paper "Representative Benchmark Suites for Barrier Heights of Diverse Reaction Types and Assessment of Electronic Structure Methods for Thermochemical Kinetics," J. Zheng, Y. Zhao, and D. G. Truhlar, Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation 3, 569-582 (2007).

 

á      DBH24 database

 

The coordinates of the structures for the DBH24 diverse barrier heights database DBH24 can be obtained from the same paper as mentioned above in conjunction with BH6.

 

The most recent version of the DBH24 database is "The DBH24/08 Database and Its Use to Assess Electronic Structure Model Chemistries for Chemical Reaction Barrier Heights," J. Zheng, Y. Zhao, and D. G. Truhlar, Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation 5, 808-821 (2009).

á      Other databases

 

Many other databases of energetic quantities, molecular geometries, lattice constants, and so forth, have been created, primarily for testing density functional theory.  An index to most of these databases is given in:

 

ÒThe M06 Suite of Density Functionals for Main Group Thermochemistry, Thermochemical Kinetics, Noncovalent Interactions, Excited States, and Transition Elements: Two New Functionals and Systematic Testing of Four M06-Class Functionals and 12 Other Functionals,Ó Y. Zhao and D. G. Truhlar, Theoretical Chemistry Accounts 120, 215-241 (2008) (Contribution to the Mark S. Gordon 65th Birthday Festschrift Issue). Erratum: 119, 525 (2008).
