r²SCAN-3c's TorsionNet206 Results

TorsionNet206 is a high-accuracy molecular benchmark that evaluates the accuracy of predicting and ranking of dihedral energy profiles. The benchmark contains 206 subsets of 24 conformers each computed at the CCSD(T)/def2-TZVP level of theory. Mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) are shown in kcal/mol.
