## Abstract Starting from a knowledge of approximate wave functions of the isolated molecules (or atoms) A and B, a method is proposed to build up a zeroth‐order ground state and excited configurations for the complex AB in which the molecular orbitals keep their local significance. The standard Ra

Abstract
The ground state energy of the He~2~ system is calculated according to the techniques described in Paper I around the van der Waals equilibrium, without assuming the constancy of the intraatomic correlation energies. The second‐order results do not present an attractive region; the S^2^ decrease of the intraatomic correlation correlation corrections is larger than the attractive interatomic correlation corrections. The further orders reverse progressively the situation and finally give a qualitatively correct potential curve after the fifth order. Reaching almost exact solutions in the considered basis, one can demonstrate that the intermolecular calculation of the system A + B in the union of the basis for A and B involves an energy decrease which simply represents the effect of the extension of the basis set; and that a proper intermolecular calculation must compare the A + B energy with the A and B energies calculated in conveniently extended basis sets including the vacant MO's of the partner.

## Abstract The interaction energy between two water molecules A and B is calculated by the method described in Paper I [1], previously applied for the interaction between two helium atoms (Paper II) [2]. This interaction energy is obtained as the difference between the energies of the complex (A +
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). At the
