Since 2005, the Minnesota theoretical chemistry group led by Donald Truhlar has focused on the development of post-GGA functionals capable of capturing the chemistry of main group elements as well as transition metals including activation barriers as well as non-covalent interactions. The excellent "across-theboard" performance of these functionals has made them one of the most widely used XC approximations in computational chemistry . The Minnesota functionals are semi-empirical in nature, with functional forms that have been fitted against extensive datasets of reference absolute and relative energies, as well as eventual structures and lattice constants. For brevity's sake, Table provides a summary of the XC approximations studied in this work, along with a global overview of their functional components.
