The new semiempirical methods, PDDG/PM3 and PDDG/MNDO, have been parameterized for halogens. For comparison, the original MNDO and PM3 were also reoptimized for the halogens using the same training set; these modified methods are referred to as MNDO' and PM3'. For 442 halogen-containing molecules, the smallest mean absolute error (MAE) in heats of formation is obtained with PDDG/PM3 (5.6 kcal/mol), followed by PM3' (6.1 kcal/mol), PDDG/MNDO (6.6 kcal/mol), PM3 (8.1 kcal/mol), MNDO' (8.5 kcal/mol), AM1 (11.1 kcal/mol), and MNDO (14.0 kcal/mol). For normal-valent halogen-containing molecules, the PDDG methods also provide improved heats of formation over MNDO/d. Hypervalent compounds were not included in the training set and improvements over the standard NDDO methods with sp basis sets were not obtained. For small haloalkanes, the PDDG methods yield more accurate heats of formation than are obtained from density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP and B3PW91 functionals using large basis sets. PDDG/PM3 and PM3' also give improved binding energies over the standard NDDO methods for complexes involving halide anions, and they are competitive with B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) results including thermal corrections. Among the semiempirical methods studied, PDDG/PM3 also generates the best agreement with high-level ab initio G2 and CCSD(T) intrinsic activation energies for S(N)2 reactions involving methyl halides and halide anions. Finally, the MAEs in ionization potentials, dipole moments, and molecular geometries show that the parameter sets for the PDDG and reoptimized NDDO methods reduce the MAEs in heats of formation without compromising the other important QM observables.
