173. The hybrid DFT methods B3LYP, MPW1K, and O3LYP use empirically-determined percentages of Hartree-Fock exact exchange along with density functionals to recover exchange and correlation energies. B3LYP was parameterized against atomization and atomic energies, ionization potential, and proton affinities form the G1 test set (A. D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 1993, 98, 5648-5652;
174. P. J. Stephens, F. J. Devlin, C. F. Chabalowski, M. J. Frisch, J. Chem. Phys. 1994, 98, 11623-11627).
175. MPW1K was designed by Truhlar and co-workers specifically for barrier heights (B. J. Lynch, P. L. Fast, M. Harris, D. G. Truhlar, J. Phys. Chem. A 2000, 104, 4811-4815).
176. O3LYP is similar to B3LYP, except the local exchange functional was designed to have an increased flexibility to deal with the inseparability of DFT exchange and non-dynamic correlation effects (N. C. Handy, A. J. Cohen, J. Chem. Phys. 1998, 108, 2545;
177. W. M. Hoe, A. J. Cohen, N. C. Handy, Chem. Phys. Lett. 2001, 341, 319).
178. The very accurate CBS-QB3 method is a five-step method starting with a B3LYP geometry and frequency calculation followed by CCSD(T), MP4SDQ, and MP2 single-point calculations and extrapolation to a complete basis set. The CASPT2 balances nondynamical (multi-configuration) and dynamical electron correlation with a second-order perturbation treatment [K. Andersson, P. Malmqvist, B. O. Roos, J. Chem. Phys. 1992, 96, 1218-1226;
179. K. Andersson, B. O. Roos, in: Modern Electronic Structure Theory, (Ed.; D. R. Yarkony), World Scientific, Singapore, 1995, p 55].
180. There are a number of recent investigations that have shown B3LYP is incapable of correctly accounting for the correlation energy in larger hydrocarbon systems. Beyond the ad hoc explanation of strain, it may well be the problem with describing dispersion forces and medium range electron correlation effects: S. Grimme, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 4460;
181. M. D. Wodrich, C. Corminboeuf, P. von R. Schleyer, Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 3631-3634;
182. P. R. Schreiner, A. A. Fokin, R. A. Pascal, A. de Meijere, Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 3635-3638.
183. These methods use a CCSD(T) calculation with a small basis set and two MP2 calculations with large basis sets to estimate the basis set effect: a) R. D. J. Froese, S. Humbel, M. Svensson, K. Morokuma, J. Phys. Chem. A 1997, 101, 227-233;

187. S. Grimme, J. Chem. Phys. 2003, 118, 9095-9102. The SCS-MP2 method scales the electron correlation energy by 6/5 and 1/3 (values based on QCISD(T) calculations) for spin-antiparallel and spin-parallel correlation energies to correct for the overcorrection of MP2 of correlation energy.
