Abstrakt: We update the Quadratic Integrand Double-Hybrid (QIDH) model [J. Chem. Phys. 141, 031101 (2014)] by incorporating the nonempirical restored-regularized Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed (r2SCAN) meta-generalized gradient approximation exchange-correlation functional, thus devising a robust density functional approximation free of any empirical parameter and incorporating all the constraints so far known for the exchange-correlation kernel. We assessed the new r2SCAN-QIDH expression on the GMTKN55 database and further extend its application to various types of non-covalent interactions (e.g., S66 × 8, O24 × 5). The assessment done shows that the model becomes very competitive in accuracy with respect to parent exchange-correlation functionals of any type, but without relying on any fitted parameter or numerical training.
