• Distributed polarisabilities provide a good qualitative topology of the intermolecular PES

• Relativistic ECP reproduce well the Douglass Kroll all-electrons calculations.

• Mid bond functions Improve drastically the convergence to CBS.

Conclusion

• Michel Herman• Keevin Didriche• Sonia Melandri• Maxence Delsaut• FNRS • ULB• Colin Western• M. Kisiel

• And you for your attention…
