The calculation of molecular spectroscopic properties is an interesting application of the local density approximation (LDA) for the exchange-correlation energy of many-electron systems. LDA bond lengths and vibrational frequencies agree remarkably well with experiment. Dissociation energies are also reasonably good, but tend to overestimate the experimental results. Therefore, we consider in this work the effect of non-local gradient-type correction terms on LDA bond energies. In particular, we consider the gradient-corrected exchange-correlation functional of Langreth and Mehl, and also a semi-empirical exchange approximation recently developed by the present author.
