COF26: A new on-top functional for multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory
Multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) provides an efficient and accurate framework for computing electronic energies in strongly correlated molecular systems, with the quality of the on-top functional being a key determinant of its predictive accuracy. Here, we introduce MMCDDB26, a rigorously curated benchmark database comprising 76 datasets and 1,495 reactions. We further propose a constrained, large-language-model-assisted optimization workflow for the development and assessment of MC-PDFT functionals. Using this workflow, we optimized the parameters of the MC23/MC25 functionals on MMCDDB26 to obtain MC26. Compared with earlier functionals of the same class, MC26 improves the accuracy on the training set and achieves a more balanced overall performance. In addition, we developed the hybrid meta-functional COF26. We find that COF26 delivers superior performance for both strongly and weakly correlated systems, and therefore recommend COF26 for future MC-PDFT calculations.
