Spin-Crossover From a Well-Behaved, Low-Cost meta-GGA Density Functional

The recent major modification, r$^2$SCAN, of the SCAN (strongly constrained and appropriately normed) meta-GGA exchange-correlation functional is shown to give substantially better spin-crossover electronic energies (high spin minus low spin) on a benchmark data set than the original SCAN. The deorbitalized counterpart r$^2$SCAN-L is almost as good as SCAN and much faster in periodically bounded systems. A combination strategy for balanced treatment of molecular and periodic spin-crossover therefore is recommended.
