چکیده
This review sketches the development of methods for the computation of intermolecular forces; emphasis is placed on dispersion forces. The last forty years, which saw the birth, growth, and maturation of ab initio methods, are reviewed.

Theoretical study of intermolecular potential energy and second virial coefficient in the mixtures of CH4 and H2CO gases
To get a mole of a gas, it is necessary to calculate the intermolecular interaction. Theseintermolecular interactions can be depicted by drawing the potential energy of a pair molecule inrelation to the distance. The intermolecular potential energy surface in the mixtures of CH4-H2COgases from ab initio calculations has been explored. In ab initio calculations the basis setsuperposition error (...
متن کاملAb initio Study of Simple Mg-Ene Reactions of Propenyl Magnesium Halides and Ethylene (Type-I Intermolecular Reaction)
The insertion of an olefinic C=C bond into a metal-carbon bond is of potential interest as a preparativeroute to new products and as results of C-C coupling reactions to organic compounds. The allyl compoundsof Mg, react with an olefin by inversion of the allyl group via a six center transition state. These precyclicreactions may be one of the most important classes of organic reactions. The re...
متن کاملCharacterization of intermolecular interaction between Cl2 and HX (X=F, Cl and Br): An ab initio, DFT, NBO and AIM study
The character of the intermolecular interactions in Cl2-HX (X =F, Cl and Br) complexes has been investigated by means of the second-order Möller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that there are two types of lowest interaction potential equilibrium structures in the interactions between Cl2 and HX: X∙∙∙Cl type geometry and hy...
