Recent successes and failures of the application of 'enhanced' semiempirical QM (SQM) methods are reviewed in the light of the benefits and backdraws of adding dispersion (D) and hydrogen-bond (H) correction terms. We find that the accuracy of SQM-DH methods for non-covalent interactions is very often reported to be comparable to dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D), while computation times are about three orders of magnitude lower. SQM-DH methods thus open up a possibility to simulate realistically large model systems for problems both in life and materials science with comparably high accuracy.
根据添加色散(D)和氢键(H)校正项的优点和缺点,综述了“增强型”半经验量子力学(SQM)方法应用的近期成败。我们发现,非共价相互作用的SQM-DH方法的准确度经常被报道与色散校正密度泛函理论(DFT-D)相当,而计算时间大约低三个数量级。因此,SQM-DH方法为在生命科学和材料科学中以相当高的准确度逼真地模拟大型模型系统开辟了可能性。
