This work was motivated by the diffi- culty of standard SAPT in computing the intermolecular interactions for large energetic dimer systems. SAPT based on Kohn-Sham orbitals (SAPT(DFT)) proves computationally efficient for these large systems, but has been shown to perform poorly for interaction energy components. The deficiencies of SAPT(DFT) result from wrong asymptotical behaviors of commonly used exchange-correlation potentials. To remove the deficiencies, two asymptotic corrections by means of van Leeuwen and Baerends (LB) model potential and Fermi-Amaldi (FA) type potential were applied into three small test systems comprising He2, HF2 and (N2)2 and a set of larger ni- tramide dimers at several separations. The results showed that when utilizing newly developed frequency-dependent density susceptibilities (FDDS) technique for computing dispersion energy, the FA asymptotic correction is very effective to circumvent these deficiencies in SAPT(DFT) and yields a good accuracy over the LB correction. The FA corrected SAPT(DFT) approach is capa- ble of correctly predicting all the quantitative trends in binding energies for all test cases and substantially reduces computational cost as compared with the standard SAPT calculations. The successful application of the approach to nitramide dimer demonstrates that it potentially pro- vides a good means to calculate accurately intermolecular forces in larger system such as en- ergetic systems.展开更多

The results show that (1) the effect of intramonomer electron correlation on dispersion energies and induction energies for nitramide dimer system is remarkable especially in the region near the van der Waals minimum distance (0.42 nm). (2) At smaller separations the dispersion energies and the induction energies are largely quenched by their exchange counterparts, and this case in induction interaction is much more remarkable than in dispersion interaction. (3) Since at shorter distances there exists the strong short-range interaction due to electron transfer which quickly decays and even disappears at larger separations, the two different R-dependency formulae of induction energies were found: one is ca. R-12.7 at short distances, and the other ca. R-7.0 at large separations. The latter R-dependency is similar to that (ca. R-7.2) of dispersion.
