Resumen:
In this work a set of 52 molecules, with negative experimental EAs, with different functional groups

was employed as a test set for their evaluation over 25 DFT functionals. Different functionals were

employed: pure and hybrids, those with long-range corrections i.e. LC-BLYP, with the dispersion

corrections proposed by Grimme i.e. B3LYP-D, the new generation of double hybrid functionals

such us B2-PLYP or the mPW2PLYP.

The tendency to give unbound (non valence) or valence anions and the mean absolute deviation

between the experimental and the theoretical EA were evaluated. The best results were obtained

with the family of B3LYP functionals, and with B3PW91, PBE0 and M06.
