The fully expanded expression for the Boltzmann-averaged pairwise intermolecular interaction energy of two molecules B and C of arbitrary symmetry is determined in the weak interaction limit (<kT), including all electrostatic, induction and dispersion interactions having an r-n dependence (where r is the B-C separation) for which n < 11. The method exploits the 'point moment function' (PMF) approach in which the Boltzmann-averaged energy is shown to reduce to a sum of terms, each containing a product of a PMF on B, and one on C. The point moment functions may be obtained in a general analytic form by averaging an arbitrary multipolar product for the isolated molecule. Two types of PMF (Δ, point chirality function, and Λ, point achirality function) are identified, leading to a natural division of contributions to the intermolecular interaction energy into those that are insensitive (ΛΛ contributions) and sensitive (ΔΔ contributions) to molecular chirality.

<div>We introduce a dataset of 24 interaction energy curves of open-shell noncovalent dimers, referred to as the O24x5 dataset. The dataset consists of high-spin dimers up to eleven atoms selected to assure diversity with respect to interactions types: dispersion, electrostatics and induction. The benchmark interaction energies are obtained at the restricted open-shell CCSD(T) level of theory with complete basis set extrapolation aug-cc-pVQZ--> aug-cc-pV5Z.</div>

A systematic evaluation of the CSD and the PDB in conjunction with DFT calculations reveal that non-covalent Carbon-bonding interactions with X–CH3 can be weakly directional in the solid state (P ≤ 1.5) when X = N or O. This is comparable to very weak CH hydrogen bonding interactions and is in line with the weak interaction energies calculated (≤ –1.5 kcal·mol−1) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me3N-CH3···OH2] (2a). The interaction energy is enhanced to ≤–5 kcal·mol−1 when X is more electron withdrawing such as in [O2N-CH3··O=Cdme] (20b) and to ≤18 kcal·mol−1 in cationic species like [Me3O+-CH3···OH2]+ (8a).

Possible HF tetramer geometries have been optimized employing the density functional B3LYP method and the aug-cc-pVQZ basis set. Deformation energy has been calculated at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ level. After the BSSE correction with the CP method, two-body intermolecular interaction energy, three-body nonadditive intermolecular interaction energy, and four-body nonadditive intermolecular interaction energy (Δ E c[4]) have been obtained at the levels of B3LYP/aug-cc–pVQZ, B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ, and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ. Calculated results show that the three-body nonadditive intermolecular interaction energy is important for the optimized structures of HF tetramer. At the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ level, the four-body nonadditive intermolecular interaction strength arrives at -4.5kJ/mol in the optimized eight-membered ring structure, but is extremely weak in other optimized structures. The comparison between MP2 and B3LYP calculated intermolecular interaction energies shows that the B3LYP method is applicable to the calculation of the intermolecular interaction energy of HF tetramer when the basis set reaches aug-cc-pVTZ. ΔEc[4] occupies 8–32% of the total intermolecular interaction energy when the intermolecular distances of the eight-membered ring structure are in the range of 1.06–1.37 Å.
