The ab initio potential energy surface (PES) for the weak interaction of hydrogen molecule with iodine anion is presented. The surface was obtained by the supermolecular method at the MP4(SDTQ) level of theory. Our calculations indicate the van der Waals (vdW) system for the linear configuration at rH-H = 0.752 Å and R = 3.76 Å with a well depth of De = 2096 μEh. The presented PES reveals also a transition state for the perpendicular arrangement at rH-H = 0.7416 Å and R = 4.63 Å with an interaction energy of -113 μEh. The physical origin of stability of the vdW H2...I- structure with respect to the H2...X- (X = F, Cl, Br) one was analysed by the symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) based on the single determinant HF wave function. The separation of the interaction energy shows that the dispersion forces play a much more important role for the systems with Cl, Br and I than for H2...F- and their importance slightly increases in the order Cl < Br < I. The global importance of the electrostatic and the induction energies decreases in the order F > Cl > Br > I.

The supermolecular CCSD(T) ab initio calculations of potential energy surface for the electronic ground state of van der Waals complex formed from a cadmium atom and a nitrogen molecule are presented. Our calculations indicate the bent orientation (Jacobi coordinates are rN-N = 1.10 Å, R = 4.53 Å, angle θ = 62°) of the van der Waals (vdW) system with a well depth of De = 73.3 cm-1. This well depth was shifted to the value of 76.7 cm-1 by systematical extension of mid-bond functions. The temperature dependences of the theoretical coefficient of diffusion were evaluated from the molecular dynamics and the Enskog-Chapman theory. The theoretical values at 273 K are compared with the available experimental data.

The adiabatic potential energy surface (PES) of the Li-CO complex in the van der Waals region, described by Jacobi coordinates (r = 1.15 Å, R, Θ), was investigated using the supermolecular coupled-clusters CCSD(T) method. Our calculations indicate minima for bent arrangements. The first minimum was found on the carbon side of CO molecule at R = 5.27 Å (Θ = 50.7°) with a well depth of De = -167.2 μEh. The second minimum is indicated at R = 5.35 Å (Θ = 148.7°) with a well depth of De = -121.9 μEh. The saddle point is localised at θ = 111.5° and R = 5.35 Å. The physical origin of the weak interaction studied was analysed by the intermolecular perturbation theory based on the single determinant UHF wave function. The separation of the interaction energies shows that the locations of the predicted stable bent structures are primarily determined by the anisotropy of the repulsive Heitler-London exchange penetration and attractive dispersion and induction energy components.

Stabilization energies for the title van der Waals molecules were calculated for various mutual orientations of the subsystems. The interaction energy was expressed as a sum of three contributions: the Hartree-Fock interaction energy, the basis set superposition error and the dispersion energy. The potential energy minima represent reasonably good estimates of the structures of the van der Waals molecules.

For the theoretical study of the title reaction, an analytical full-dimensional potential energy surface named PES-2021 was developed for the first time, by fitting high-level explicitly-correlated ab initio data. This...
