We investigate the exact dynamics of trace distance discord (TDD) by considering two qubits under dephasing whose states belong to a class of X states beyond Bell diagonal form. The necessary condition for the occurrence of freezing TDD is found and compared with that of entropic discord. For an illustration, we consider two interacting qubits coupled to independent reservoirs and demonstrate these dynamical properties of TDD. It is interesting to find that the freezing TDD exists even for X states without maximally mixed marginals and can be tuned by dipole–dipole coupling of two qubits. Moreover, we consider the initial extended Werner-like (EWL) states and investigate the differences between TDD and entanglement. The influences of initial state and the dipole–dipole coupling of the two qubits on the dynamics of nonclassical correlations are explored.
