Dear Alexey, even in the case of Hartree-fock and occupied states is difficult to notice with the eyes a big difference. Indeed, nature is mainly mean-field and the biggest differences between standard DFT and hybrid DFT schemes are in the tail of the wave functions.<div>

Dear Alexey<br>
<br>
I've plotted many HOMO and LUMO orbitals of small and large molecules by using the HSE or the B3LYP<br>
functional. They are often very similar to their PBE or BLYP counterparts. This is not accountable<br>
for an incorrect behaviour of the pp.x code. It is only the fact that, apart from some particular<br>
cases like those involving atomic-like d orbitals of transition metals contained in a C-N-O-H<br>
molecular environment, the pure DFT density is not so different from the hybrid density. After all,<br>
when you perform a B3LYP calculation you are only substituting about 20% of BLYP exchange with<br>
Hartree-Fock exact exchange... Not a great difference ;-)<br>
<br>
