<Edward F. Valeev> coauthored calculations of <benzene dimer> interaction energies using correlated electronic-structure methods. The study compares T-shaped and parallel-displaced minima while examining convergence toward the computational limit.
A small interaction energy can be sensitive to the treatment of electron correlation and to the available basis functions. Assessing convergence is therefore part of the physical interpretation, rather than only a numerical convenience.<Estimates of the Ab Initio Limit for π–π Interactions: The Benzene Dimer by Mutasem Omar Sinnokrot and others>[Computational approach and alternative dimer minima]{ref}
