Abstract
intermolecular interactions. Results on 18 benchmark data sets and two challenging potential energy curves demonstrate that SCS-MP2D considerably improves upon the accuracy of MP2 for intermolecular interactions, conformational energies, and reaction energies. Its accuracy and computational cost are competitive with state-of-the-art density functionals such as DSD-BLYP-D3(BJ), revDSD-PBEP86-D3(BJ), ωB97X-V, and ωB97M-V for systems with ∼100 atoms.
