Abstract

Stabilization energies for the title van der Waals molecules were calculated for various mutual orientations of the subsystems. The interaction energy was expressed as a sum of three contributions: the Hartree-Fock interaction energy, the basis set superposition error and the dispersion energy. The potential energy minima represent reasonably good estimates of the structures of the van der Waals molecules.
