Four geometries of dimers were obtained: dimer I (a:dimer, O…H--N), dimer II (b-dimer, O…H--N), dimer III (b-dimer, n-stacking-c), and dimer IV (b-dimer, n-stacking-p). The interaction energies of the four dimers are along the sequence of II〉I〉III〉IV. The intermolecular distance of the interactions follows the order: I (O…H--N)〈II (O…H--N), and III (n-stacking)〈 IV (n-stacking).
