The effect of resonant intramolecular interactions upon vibrational energy transfer is studied using classical and quantum perturbation theory. It is shown that cancellations attributed previously to quantum interference may equally well be ascribed to a classical mechanism.

✦ Synopsis
The charge-transfer energy of a van der Waals complex is an ill-defined pan of the induction (polarization) energy, and vanishes in the limit of a complete basis. However in the case of a finite basis the two effects can be distinguished, although the distinction is basis-set dependent and to some extent arbitrary, and the charge-transfer term can be computed in a BSSE-free manner. In the cases examined the charge-transfer energy is small, though not always negligible; for instance there is a contribution to the binding energy of the water dimer that is approximately -4 kJ mol-' at the equilibrium geometry.

A Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory approach based on the adiabatic (Born-Oppenheimer) separation of vibrational motions was previously developed and used to evaluate for a system of coupled oscillators the adiabatic energy levels and their nonadiabatic corrections.

The computation of the relativistic correction to the first order in 1rc 2 , where c is the velocity of light, is implemented at the levels of coupled cluster and many-body perturbation theory. The relativistic correction is obtained by applying direct perturbation theory through the first order, an
