مستخلص: In the so-called Interacting Quantum Atoms (IQA) approach, the molecular energy is numerically decomposed as a sum of atomic and diatomic contributions. While proper formulations have been put forward for both Hartree–Fock and post-Hartree–Fock wavefunctions, this is not the case for the Kohn–Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT). In this work, we critically analyze the performance of two fully additive approaches for the IQA decomposition of the KS-DFT energy, namely, the one from Francisco et al., which uses atomic scaling factors, and that from Salvador and Mayer based upon the bond order density (SM-IQA). Atomic and diatomic exchange–correlation (xc) energy components are obtained for a molecular test set comprising different bond types and multiplicities and along the reaction coordinate of a Diels–Alder reaction. Both methodologies behave similarly for all systems considered. In general, the SM-IQA diatomic xc components are less negative than the Hartree–Fock ones, which is in good agreement with the known effect of electron correlation upon (most) covalent bonds. In addition, a new general scheme to minimize the numerical error of the sum of two-electron energy contributions (i.e., Coulomb and exact exchange) in the framework of overlapping atoms is described in detail.
