Further, the order of the sites in the auxiliary basis sets of the two molecules must be the same. This is best illustrated with a diagram: {{{ For two molecules A and B with sites a1,a2,a3 and b1,b2 (say), we must define the basis sets as follows: A B Main Aux Main Aux a1 a1 b1 a1 a2 a2 b2 a2 a3 a3 a3 b1 b1 b2 b2 }}} The coordinates used in these molecule definitions must be those of the molecules in their reference geometries. In the pyridine dimer example, the two molecules are identical, and have the following coordinates: [[attachment:pyridine dimer molecule definitions]] {{{ MOLECULE pyridine1 at 0.0 0.0 0.0 Charge 0 Echo No Hessian format SAPT2006 MO-file vectA-daTZ.data Format BINARY IP 0.500000 a.u.

They share the same MOs and the same reference geometry. * That means that the auxiliary basis set for each molecule contains two sets of apparently identical sites. For example, there are two H1 sites, and they are located at the same point in space. * This is not a problem: In the next set of commands we will pair each molecule with the other. This will allow CamCASP to treat the second set of sites as belonging to the partner molecule, and CamCASP will get the actual coordinates of those sites from the partner molecule. === Partner molecules === This is how we tell CamCASP that each molecule has a partner that will be used to determine the position of the dummy sites in the auxiliary basis set: [[attachment:Partner site specification]] {{{ Edit pyridine1 Partner-Monomer = pyridine2 Update Geometry End Edit pyridine2 Partner-Monomer = pyridine1 Update Geometry End }}} After these commands the second set of sites in the auxiliary basis definition of pyridine1 will be paired with the atomic sites of pyridine2, and the first set of sites in the auxiliary basis definition of pyridine2 will be paired with the atomic sites of pyridine1. === DF and DF-INT settings === [[attachment:DF and DF-INT settings]] {{{ SET DF REDO-DF-ON-ROTATION True END SET DF Molecule pyridine1 Type OO Eta = 0.0 Lambda = 0.0 Gamma = 0.0 Print only normalization constraints Solver LU END SET DF Molecule pyridine2 Type OO Eta = 0.0 Lambda = 0.0 Gamma = 0.0 Print only normalization constraints Solver LU END Set DF-INTS DF-TYPE-MONOMER OO DF-TYPE-DIMER OO End }}} We use the SET blocks shown above to alter the default settings in the CamCASP code for this calculation: * ''REDO-DF-ON-ROTATION True'' : When using DC-type auxiliary basis sets, the density-fitting step needs to be re-done for every new dimer configuration. This is because the positions of the sites in the auxiliary basis changes. So we set this flag. If set to ''False'', CamCASP will trap the error. * Next we set the density-fitting parameters for this calculation. Since we are after first-order energies only, set the type of density-fitting to ''OO'', i.e., fit occupied-occupied pairs of MOs only. * We do something similar for the DF-Integral module by informing it that the default type of density-fitting will be ''OO''. If this is not done, the code will use the ''OV'' default (which includes ''OO''). === Energy settings === Next set the ''Integral switch = 1'' in the energy modules. This causes the code to use the more accurate integrals. [[attachment:Integral switch settings]] {{{ Set E1elst Integral switch = 1 End Set E1exch Integral switch = 1 End }}} {{{#!wiki important Important //Integral Accuracy//: When the DF is done accurately - here when the DC-aux basis is used - then it seems that we must use 1-electron integrals computed as accurately as is possible. So we use ''Integral switch = 1''. But if we use a relatively poor DF (as is the case with the MC-MC case when we use the MC-aux basis type), then we need to rely on an error cancellation in the terms that appear in $E^{(1)}_{\rm elst}$. So we need to use ''Integral switch = 0''. }}} === ENERGY-SCAN commands === Finally we set the ''ENERGY-SCAN'' commands: [[attachment:Energy-Scan commands]] {{{ Begin Energy-Scan Probe pyridine1 with pyridine2 Energy E1elst & E1exch Units Bohr !
