Can the Counterpoise Correction for Basis Set Superposition Effect Be Justified

TL;DR: The answer to the title question is negative: the standard basis sets of quantum chemistry appear to be biased toward the atom in the sense that basis set errors are larger for the dimer than the monomer.

Interactions in diatomic dimers involving closed-shell metals.

TL;DR: It is shown that although the convergence problems become somewhat less severe with the increase of the atomic number, single-determinant-based methods do not provide reliable interaction energies for any of the investigated metallic dimers even at the level of the coupled-cluster method with single, double, and noniterative triple excitations [CCSD(T].

The ground-state spectroscopic constants of Be_2 revisited

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ab initio calibration calculations combined with extrapolations towards the infinite-basis limit lead to ground-state dissociation energy of Be_2, D_e=944 \pm 25 1/cm, substantially higher than the accepted experimental value, and confirming recent theoretical findings.

The ground-state spectroscopic constants of Be2 revisited

TL;DR: In this article, a ground-state dissociation energy of Be2, De=944±25 cm−1, substantially higher than the accepted experimental value, was computed using ab initio calibration calculations combined with infinite-basis limit extrapolations.

Accurately solving the electronic Schrödinger equation of atoms and molecules using explicitly correlated (r12-)MR-CI.

TL;DR: In this paper, the r 12 -MR-ACPF method is applied to the ground state (X 1 Σ g + ) potential of Be 2 A large [19s11p6d4f3g2h] basis set and a valence-CAS reference space (60 CSFs) are used at long range, the reference space is augmented by {3s, 3p} orbitals (568 CSFs), the calculated dissociation energy (898±8 cm −1 ) is considerably larger than the experimental estimate (790±30 cm −

The calculation of small molecular interactions by the differences of separate total energies. Some procedures with reduced errors

TL;DR: In this paper, a direct difference method for the computation of molecular interactions has been based on a bivariational transcorrelated treatment, together with special methods for the balancing of other errors.

An improved simple model for the van der Waals potential based on universal damping functions for the dispersion coefficients

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple expression for the radial dependent damping functions for the individual dispersion coefficients C2n for arbitrary even orders 2n was derived for the well region of the atom van der Waals potential with only five essential parameters A, b, C6, C8, and C10.

Treatment of intershell correlation effects in ab initio calculations by use of core polarization potentials. Method and application to alkali and alkaline earth atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological core polarization potential (CPP) was proposed to account for intershell correlation effects in all-electron SCF and valence CI calculations, and a detailed analysis of core polarization effects on ionization energies, electron affinities, oscillator strengths, polarizabilities, van der Waals coefficients, the valence electron density, and spin densities.

Effective convergence to complete orbital bases and to the atomic Hartree–Fock limit through systematic sequences of Gaussian primitives

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple procedure is given for finding expansions of atomic self-consistent field orbitals in terms of Gaussian primitives to arbitrarily high accuracy, and the method furthermore opens the first avenue so far for approaching complete basis sets through systematic sequences of atomic orbitals.

Ground‐state properties of alkali dimers and their cations (including the elements Li, Na, and K) from ab initio calculations with effective core polarization potentials

TL;DR: In this article, all-electron SCF and valence CI calculations are performed for alkali dimer systems with consideration of intershell correlation effects by use of an effective core polarization potential (CPP), which contains only a single adjustable atomic parameter.
