Truth and tractability: compromising between accuracy and computational cost in quantum computational chemistry methods for noncovalent interactions and metal-salen catalysis

Computational chemists are concerned about two aspects when choosing between the myriad of theoretical methodologies: the accuracy (the "truth") and the computational cost (the tractability). Among the least expensive methods are the Hartree-Fock (HF), density functional theory (DFT), and...
