Symmetry adapted perturbation theories SAPT

Usually, the expansion is truncated at second order and the mixed terms are condensed, yielding a formula which resembles that of the EDA

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 . 

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 ... 

Application of the conventional wave function approach in the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) has been shown to give very accurate description of the dispersion interaction and has provided intermolecular potentials which performed... 

The first chapter by Moszyliski presents in a systematic and comprehensive manner the current state-of-the-art theory of intermolecular interactions. Numerous examples illustrate how theoreticians and experimentalists working in tandem may gather valuable quantitative results related to intermolecular interactions, like accurate potential functions, interaction-induced properties, spectra and collisional characteristics or dielectric, refractive or thermodynamic properties of bulk phases. On the other hand the most advanced Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) enables validation of more approximate variation-pertubation models which could be applied to the analysis of specific interactions in much larger molecular systems, for example enzyme-drug interactions discussed in Chapter VIII by Berlicki et al. 

On the theoretical side the H20-He systems has a sufficiently small number of electrons to be tackled by the most sophisticated quantum-chemical techniques, and in the last two decades several calculations by various methods of electronic structure theory have been attempted [77-80]. More recently, new sophisticated calculations appeared in the literature they exploited combined symmetry - adapted perturbation theory SAPT and CCSD(T), purely ab initio SAPT [81,82], and valence bond methods [83]. A thorough comparison of the topology, the properties of the stationary points, and the anisotropy of potential energy surfaces obtained with coupled cluster, Moller-Plesset, and valence bond methods has been recently presented [83]. 

DFT modeling has also been applied to the interaction energy calculations between nucleotide base pairs in DNA. Hesselmann et al. [32] examined the interaction energy between purines and pyrimidines using MP2, CCSD(T), and DFT in combination with symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT). This study demonstrated agreement between the results produced by the three methods, demonstrating the potential for DFT modified with SAPT. 

In order to analyze the interaction energy component, the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) [12] calculations were performed. SAPT have been used to analyze the interaction energies in terms of electrostatic, induction, dispersion, and exchange interaction components. The SAPT interaction energy (Dint) has been analyzed up to the second-order symmetry adapted perturbation theory the electrostatic energy (Dekt) consisting of and... 

Recently, a new theoretical method of calculating potential energy and dipole/polarizability surfaces for van der Waals molecules based on symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (sapt) of intermolecular forces (12)— (15) has been developed (16)-(24). In this method, referred to as many-body symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, all physically important contributions to the potential and the interaction-induced properties, such as electrostatics, exchange, induction, and dispersion are identified and computed separately. By making a perturbation expansion in the intermolecular interaction as well as in the intramolecular electronic correlation, it is possible to sum the correlation contributions to the different physical...
