The intermolecular interaction for ammonia-lithium ion has been investigated based on the LCAO-MO-SCF method, with double zeta basis set including polarization. The potential functions were constructed firstly from 50 ammonia configuration. Then 50 additional random configurations were added to test the quality of the function. The results show that even 100 configurations are not enough to obtain convergency, but the quality of the function obtained by well-selected points of the surface is already sufficient for simulation purposes.

We have performed the ab initio molecular orbital calculations for combinations of the fullerene-fragments as the models of the nonbonding interaction of C 60 dimer at the preferred configurations in the simple cubic phase. The intermolecular interaction potentials have been calculated using several basis sets with MP2 level of the electron correlation energy and the basis set superposition error correction. The strong dispersion attractions that is dominant in the van der Waals interaction has been found for the combinations of the fullerene-fragments. The equilibrium intermolecular distances obtained are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental value. The repulsive region of the intermolecular interaction calculated by ab initio method is found to be express by an atom–atom interaction potential with an anisotropic exponential type repulsive term, which is less steep than the conventional Lennard–Jones type potential.
