The S66 benchmark for non-covalent interactions has been re-evaluated using explicitly correlated methods with basis sets near the one-particle basis set limit. It is found that post-MP2 ‘high-level corrections’ are treated adequately well using a combination of CCSD(F12*) with (aug-)cc-pVTZ-F12 basis sets on the one hand, and (T) extrapolated from conventional CCSD(T)/heavy-aug-cc-pV{D,T}Z on the other hand. Implications for earlier benchmarks on the larger S66×8 problem set in particular, and for accurate calculations on non-covalent interactions in general, are discussed. At a slight cost in accuracy, (T) can be considerably accelerated by using sano-V{D,T}Z+ basis sets, whereas half-counterpoise CCSD(F12*)(T)/cc-pVDZ-F12 offers the best compromise between accuracy and computational cost.

Benchmark configuration interaction energies, geometries, dipole moments, and harmonic vibrational frequencies are obtained for four low-lying electronic states of NH2+ and for X2B1 NH2 by solving the electronic Schrodinger equation exactly within a double-ζ plus polarization (DZP) basis set and restricting the nitrogen 1s-like core orbital to remain doubly occupied. In addition, full quartic force fields have been determined, and sets of anharmonic spectroscopic constants and fundamental frequencies are reported for the ã 1A1 state of NH2+. Vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials of NH2 are also determined exactly within a DZP basis. The capability of less-complete electron correlation treatments to match these exact, full configuration interaction (full CI) results is assessed. The efficacy of obtaining anharmonic force fields at nonstationary geometries is also examined, and in agreement with previous work, it is found that the self-consistent field method can provide high quality cubic and quartic force constants when they are evaluated at the full CI equilibrium geometry. Both the CCSD(T) and CASSCF-SOCI methods provide geometric and spectroscopic data in excellent agreement with the Full CI results and are competitive in their reliability with more expensive procedures (e.g. CISDTQ). The second 1A1 state in C2v symmetry is predicted by the TZ2P(f,d) CASSCF-SOCI wavefunction to be linear (thus properly labeled as c1Σg+), even though it is found to be quasilinear at the DZP full CI level.
