Abstract

The accuracy and efficiency of an approximate formula for the intermolecular Pauli repulsion between closed shell molecules, derived earlier [Mol. Phys. 89, 1313 (1996)], is demonstrated for dimers of H2O, CH3OH, CH2Cl2, CH3CN, (CH3)2CO, and (CH3)2SO. The energy derivative with respect to a Cartesian coordinate and rigid rotation about the center-of-mass (torques) are presented. The Pauli repulsion energy term is then combined with the Coulomb and classical induction energy terms of the effective fragment potential method [J. Chem. Phys. 105, 1968, 11081 (1996)] to give a general intermolecular interaction potential. This potential is applied to water and methanol clusters.
