SAPT

A fiirther diflfieulty arises beeause the exaet wavefiinetions of the isolated moleeules are not known, exeept for one-eleetron systems. A eoimnon starting point is the Hartree-Foek wavefiinetions of the individual moleeules. It is then neeessary to inelude the eflfeets of intramoleeular eleetron eorrelation by eonsidering them as additional perturbations. Jeziorski and eoworkers [M] have developed and eomputationally implemented a triple perturbation theory of the syimnetry-adapted type. They have applied their method, dubbed SAPT, to many interaetions with more sueeess than might have been expeeted given the fiindamental doubts raised about the method. SAPT is eurrently both usefiil and praetieal. A reeent applieation [ ] to the CO2 dimer is illustrative of what ean be aehieved widi SAPT, and a rieh soiiree of referenees to previous SAPT work. 

However, due to the availability of numerous techniques, it is important to point out here the differences and equivalence between schemes. To summarize, two EDA families can be applied to force field parametrization. The first EDA type of approach is labelled SAPT (Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory). It uses non orthogonal orbitals and recomputes the total interaction upon perturbation theory. As computations can be performed up to the Coupled-Cluster Singles Doubles (CCSD) level, SAPT can be seen as a reference method. However, due to the cost of the use of non-orthogonal molecular orbitals, pure SAPT approaches remain limited... 

SAPT methods remain the only approaches allowing the evaluation of dispersion (Figure 6-1).

Here also, Ect has its ab initio counterpart within the CSOV framework. The sum of Epoi and Ect matchs the Eoi contribution at the HF and DFT level and the SAPT induction when SE remains small (see Section 6.1). 

The most recent new activity was discovered in the peptides SapB and SapT produced by S. codicolor and S. tendae, respectively. These peptides are believed to self-assemble at air-water interfaces and are important for the formation of nascent aerial hyphae during sporulation. " The molecular details of this activity remain to be elucidated. 

The majority of bid mutants are unable to produce and secrete SapB. Sap B is able to reduce water surface tension considerably. Purified Sap B, SapT, lanthionine-containing peptide from S. tendae and SC3 hydrophobin of Schizophylum communae, added to the medium, restore the ability of bid mutants to raise aerial hyphae.

As the exchange energy, the polarization-exchange energy (.poi-txch is also nonadditive. The standard PT cannot be applied to the calculation of the poi-exch- The reason is that the antisymmetrized functions of zeroth order (Ai/>o. ..) are not eigenfunctions of the unperturbed Hamiltonian Ho as long as the operator Ho does not commute with the antisymmetrizer operator A. Many successful approaches for the symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) have been developed for a detailed discussion see chapter 3 in book, the modern achievements in the SAPT are described in reviews . 

Ce/r j, overestimates the SAPT values calculated 10 for the H H system by 2.8 times at r = 4ao and by 1.6 times at r = Sag. For the H3 trimer, in the equilateral triangle structure with sides equal to 5oo, the Axihrod-Teller energy is more than two times larger than in calculations taking into account the overlap effect . The damping functions have to improve the behavior of dispersion terms at intermediate and short distances. 

Binary Interaction-Induced Dipoles. Ab initio quantum chemical calculations of interaction-induced dipole surfaces are known for some time (Section 4.4, pp. 159 ff.) Such calculations were recently extended for the H2-He [17] and H2-H2 [18] systems, to account more closely for the dependencies of such data on the rotovibrational states of the H2 molecules [19]. New calculations of the kind and quality are now available also for the H-He system [20], the H2-H system [21], and the HD-He system [22]. New computational methods, called symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), were shown to be also successful for calculating interaction-induced dipole surfaces of such simple, binary van der Waals systems [23-26]. 

Contrary to the previously described supermolecular approach, perturbation theory treatment allows for the partition of the interaction energy into physically interpretable components. The most frequently used method for this purpose is symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) [13]. More recently, great effort has also been invested in the development of DFT-SAPT [14-16], In the present contribution, we use the variational-perturbational scheme [17-20], In this approach, the intermolecular interaction energy components are determined based on the wave functions of the subsystems evaluated in the dimer-centered basis set. Thus, both interaction energy and its components are BSSE-free. More details about this scheme can be found elsewhere [21-23]. The total intermolecular interaction energy at the MP2 level of theory can be expressed as follows ...

In principle, the theory reviewed in Sections 4-6 can be applied to interactions of arbitrary systems if the full configuration interaction (FCI) wave functions of the monomers are available, and if the matrix elements of H0 and V can be constructed in the space spanned by the products of the configuration state functions of the monomers. For the interactions of many-electron monomers the resulting perturbation equations are difficult to solve, however. A many-electron version of SAPT, which systematically treat the intramonomer correlation effects, offers a solution to this problem. 

A general approach to the intramonomer correlation problem is known as the many-electron (or many-body) SAPT method88,141 213-215. In this method the zeroth-order Hamiltonian H0 is decomposed as H0 = F + W, where F = FA + FB is the sum of the Fock operators, FA and FB, of monomer A and B, respectively, and W is the intramonomer correlation operator. The correlation operator can be written as W = WA + WB, where Wx = Hx — Fx, X = A or B. The total Hamiltonian can be now be represented as H = F + V + W. This partitioning of H defines a double perturbation expansion of the wave function and interaction energy. In the SRS theory the wave function is obtained by expanding the parametrized Schrodinger equation as a power series in and A,...
