Meanwhile, the continuous emergence of new density functionals presents opportunities to advance current NQS research. In this study, we evaluate the performance of eleven hybrid density functionals and twelve double-hybrid density functionals, selected from widely used functionals and newly developed functionals, in predicting the NQS values of the 57Fe nuclide for 32 iron-containing molecules within about 70 atoms. The calculations have incorporated scalar relativistic effects using the exact two-component (X2C) Hamiltonian. In general, the double-hybrid functional PBE-0DH demonstrates superior performance compared to the experimental values, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.20 mm\/s. Meanwhile, rSCAN38 is the best hybrid functional for our database with an MAE = 0.25 mm\/s, and it offers a significant advantage in computational efficiency over PBE-0DH. The +\/\u2212 sign of NQS has also been considered in our error statistics when it has a clear physical meaning; if neglected, the errors of many functionals decrease, but PBE-0DH and rSCAN38 remain unaffected. Notably, when calculating ferrocene [Fe(C5H5)2], which involves strong static correlations, all hybrid functionals that incorporate more than 10% exact exchange fail, while several double-hybrid functionals continue to deliver reliable results. In addition, we encountered two particularly challenging species characterized by strong static correlations: [Fe(H2O)5NO]2+ and FeO2\u2212-porphyrin. Unfortunately, none of the density functionals tested in our study yielded satisfactory results for the two cases since the density functional theory (DFT) is a single-determinant approach, and it is imperative to explore large-scale multi-configurational methods for these species. This research offers valuable guidance for selecting density functionals in M\u00f6ssbauer NQS calculations and serves as a reference point for the future development of new density functionals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26062821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]],"date-time":"2025-03-20T12:23:11Z","timestamp":1742473391000},"page":"2821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prediction of 57Fe M\u00f6ssbauer Nuclear Quadrupole Splittings with Hybrid and Double-Hybrid Density Functionals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1787-7703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yihao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Modern Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"School of Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haonan","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Modern Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory for Theoretical Physics Frontiers, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0747-2428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenli","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Modern Physics, Northwest University, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"},{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory for Theoretical Physics Frontiers, Xi\u2019an 710127, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"G\u00fctlich, P., Bill, E., and Trautwein, A.X.
