In the present work,we examined the performance of 36 density functionals,including the newly developed doubly hybrid density functional XYG3 (Y.Zhang,X.Xu,and W.A.Goddard Ⅲ,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci,USA,2009,106,4963),to calculate ionization energies (IEs)and electron affinities (EAs).We used the wellestablished G2-1 set as reference,which contains 14atoms and 24 molecules for IE,along with 7 atoms and 18 molecules for EA.XYG3 leads to mean absolute deviations (MADs) of 0.057 and 0.080 eV for IEs and EAs,respectively,using the basis set of 6-311 + G(3df,2p).In comparison with some other functionals,MADs for IEs are 0.109 (B2PLYP),0.119 (M06-2X),0.159 (X3LYP),0.161 (PBE),0.162 (B3LYP),0.165(PBE0),0.173 (TPSS),0.200 (BLYP),and 0.215 eV (LCBLYP).MADs for EAs are 0.090 (X3LYP),0.090(B2PLYP),0.102 (PBE),0.103 (M06-2X),0.104(TPSS),0.105 (BLYP),0.106 (B3LYP),0.126 (LCBLYP),and 0.128 eV (PBE0).
