✦ Synopsis
The supermolecule interaction energies at the self-consistent field and the second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory levels are analyzed using the polarization approximation perturbation theory of intermolecular interactions. The results for the He-H+ complex show that the perturbation expansion converges and its sum is identical with the supermolecule interaction energy. The counterpoise-corrected supermolecule interaction energies for various complexes in the region of small intermolecular overlap are in excellent agreement with the perturbation results for both the basis sets of monomers and the basis set of the entire complex. Comparison of the results obtained with large and small basis sets for the He-H+ and He-Li+ complexes is used to emphasize the need to remove the basis set superposition error and to demonstrate the correctness of the counterpoise procedure.

It is shown that part of what normally is considered a basis set effect on relative energies, more properly may be interpreted as intramolecular basis set superposition error.
Possible generalizations of the Boys-Bernardi counterpoise correction scheme to the case of relaxed monomer geometries is discussed. It is emphasized that the monomer relaxation energy should be calculated in the basis of free monomers, because it becomes ambiguous in the supermolecule basis.

A model is formulated which avoids the basis set superposition error (BSSE) problem at the correlation level. A projector is constructed which removes the BSSE when applied to a wavefunction. This projection can simply be included as an additional step in a usual configuration interaction method. Te
