Abstract
In a previous paper we presented a new hybrid functional B-LYP-osUW12-D3(BJ) containing the Unsöld-w12 (UW12)
hybrid correlation model. In this paper we present a new 15-parameter range-separated hybrid density functional using a power series expansion together with UW12 correlation. This functional is optimised using the survival of the fittest strategy developed for the ωB97X-V functional, fitted to data from the Main Group Chemistry Database (MGCDB84).
In addition we optimize a standard hybrid and double hybrid using the same method. We show that our fully self-consistent UW12 hybrid functional WM21-D3(BJ)
outperforms both of these functionals and other range-separated hybrid functionals.

Title
Supporting Information
Description
Includes a summary of the main-group chemistry database (MGCDB84) used in this work. As well as the errors in the training data as the functional is re-optimised using self-consistent orbitals. Also included are errors in the testing data for both the initial non-self-consistently optimised functionals and the final functionals.
