λ-Density Functional Valence Bond: A Valence Bond-Based Multiconfigurational Density Functional Theory With a Single Variable Hybrid Parameter

A new valence bond (VB)-based multireference density functional theory (MRDFT) method, named λ-DFVB, is presented in this paper. The method follows the idea of the hybrid multireference density functional method theory proposed by Sharkas et al. (2012). λ-DFVB combines the valence bond self-consiste...
