The overall RMSE in torsion profile energies of the molecule set with respect to the reference level CCSD(T)/[haTQZ; δ:haDZ]//MP2/heavy-aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory for the whole benchmark set and subsets of neutral and charged molecules. The 95% confidence intervals, calculated with cinnabar, are presented as subscripts and superscripts. The RMSE of neutral molecules for OpenFF’s default theory level, B3LYP-D3(BJ)/DZVP, is comparable to the best functional.
