Experimental observations of large exciton binding energies and nonhydrogenic Rydberg series in 2D semiconducting TMDs, along with deviations in plasmon dispersion in 2D metallic TMDs, suggest the presence of a nonconventional screening of the Coulomb interaction. The experimentally observed Mott insulating state in the charge density wave (CDW) reconstructed lattice of TMDs containing 4d and 5d elements further confirms the presence of strong Coulomb interactions in these systems. In this study, we use first-principles electronic structure calculations and constrained random-phase approximation to calculate the Coulomb interaction parameters (partially screened U and fully screened W) between localized d electrons in 2D TMDs. We specifically explore materials represented by the formula MX2 (M=Nb, Ta, Mo, W; X=S, Se, Te) and consider three different phases (1H, 1T, and 1T′). Our results show that the short-range interactions are strongly screened in all three phases, whereas the long-range interactions remain significant even in metallic systems. This nonconventional screening provides a compelling explanation for the deviations observed in the usual hydrogenic Rydberg series and conventional plasmon dispersion in 2D semiconducting and metallic TMDs, respectively. Our calculations yield on-site Coulomb interaction parameters U within the ranges of 0.8–2.5, 0.8–1.9, and 0.9–2.4 eV for the 1H, 1T, and 1T′ structures, respectively. These values depend on the specific chalcogen X, the number of d electrons, and the correlated subspace. Using the calculated U parameters for the undistorted 1T structure, we extract the on-site effective Ueff00 and nearest-neighbor Ueff01 Coulomb interaction parameters for reconstructed commensurate CDW NbX2 and TaX2 compounds. Furthermore, our findings indicate a substantially high ratio of on-site effective Coulomb interaction to bandwidth (Ueff00/Wb≫1) in CDW TMDs, providing robust evidence for the experimentally observed strongly correlated Mott phase. This work sheds light on the nonconventional screening of Coulomb interactions in 2D TMDs, offering valuable insights into their electronic properties and potential applications in emerging technologies. It advances our fundamental understanding of these materials and holds promise for their use in various applications. 001025706 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5211$$a5211 - Topological Matter (POF4-521)$$cPOF4-521$$fPOF IV$$x0 001025706 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001025706 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aŞaşıoğlu, E.$$b1$$eCorresponding author 001025706 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aHadipour, H.$$b2 001025706 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSoleimani, H.
