To evaluate the performance of Minnesota functionals in the broader context of DFT approximations, we compiled a comprehensive dataset from the literature (Table of the ESI †). As various functionals were employed at different temperatures, the position and height of the first g OO peak, as well as the first g OO minimum, were rescaled to a common reference point at 298 K based on empirical interpolations fitted to experimental data (Fig. ). The differences between simulated and experimental values are depicted in Fig. . As can be seen, KS-DFT coupled to a classical propagation of the nuclei have the tendency to generally overestimate the height of the first peak and underestimate the first minimum, resulting in an overstructured prediction of liquid water. This is a well-known result for approximations lacking vdW interactions, such as purely local GGAs 121,140,151 . Although dispersion corrections generally represent a step in the right direction, i.e. a less overstructured RDF, their effect depends on the specific functional and correction employed. For instance, BLYP is improved when supplemented with either D3 and DCACP corrections, while PBE is only improved with the D3 correction and deteriorates with DCACP (which was attributed to the presence of artificial dispersion effects in PBE 121 ). Notably, the rVV10 nonlocal functional is also overstructured. In summary, BLYP-DCACP and revPBE-D3 are the best GGA functionals reported so far for the structure of liquid water.
