Abstract
The reliability of various DFT functionals for description of Cu sites and their interaction with NO in zeolites is tested. The dissociation energies of Cun+H2O and Cun+NO systems calculated with various DFT functionals are compared with those obtained at the MP2 and CCSD(T) levels of theory. It is concluded that hybrid density functional (B3LYP) gives reliable description of studied systems, while LDA seriously overestimates dissociation energies.
