The ability of ab initio quantum-chemical methods to produce very accurate potential energy curves for van der Waals molecules is demonstrated through the calculation of the helium dimer interaction energy for a variety of internuclear distances around the van der Waals minimum (R= 5.6 bohr).

✦ Synopsis
We present an accurate calculation of the intermolecular potential surface for the van der Waals complex He-H20 using complete fourth-order M¢ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4) with an efficient basis set containing bond functions. The calculation gives a global minimum at R = 3.15 /~, 0 = 105 °, ~b = 0 ° (in a Jacobi coordinate system) with a minimum energy Dc = -31.8 cm -~, along with barriers of 13.4 and 12.6 cm -1 for in-plane rotation at 0 = 0 ° and 180 °, respectively, and a barrier of 20.0 cm -1 for out-of-plane rotation at 0 = 105 °, ~ = 90 °. The potential energy surface is compared with previously published surfaces for He-H20, and with the potential energy surface for Ar-H20.
