Abstract: | Accurate binding energies of the benzene dimer at the T and parallel displaced (PD) configurations were determined using the single- and double-coupled cluster method with perturbative triple correction (CCSD(T)) with correlation-consistent basis sets and an effective basis set extrapolation scheme recently devised. The difference between the estimated CCSD(T) basis set limit electronic binding energies for the T and PD shapes appears to amount to more than 0.3 kcal/mol, indicating the PD shape is a more stable configuration than the T shape for this dimer in the gas phase. This conclusion is further strengthened when a vibrational zero-point correction to the electronic binding energies of this dimer is made, which increases the difference between the two configurations to 0.4-0.5 kcal/mol. The binding energies of 2.4 and 2.8 kcal/mol for the T and PD configurations are in good accord with the previous experimental result from ionization potential measurement. |
