Abstract

Four correlated linear response theory methods - the second order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA), the second order polarization propagator approximation with coupled cluster singles and doubles amplitudes, SOPPA(CCSD), the CC2 and coupled cluster singles doubles (CCSD) linear response theory - were used to determine the dipole oscillator strength sum rules of the hydrogen halides HX (with X = F, Cl, Br and I) and the C6 dispersion coefficient for all pairs of interacting HX molecules via numerical integration of the Casimir-Polder formula. The dependence of the polarizabilities, their frequency dependence and the C6 coefficients on the level of correlation and the dependence of the C6 coefficients on the two intramolecular bond lengths were studied.
