Re: Separating dispersion and binding energy

Dear Pejer,

this sounds really strange!
Could you please provide your energy data for monomers and for dimer at MP2 and DFT?

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>Two methods were used: RHF/MP2 and DFT/B97D (+dispersion correction for dimer). Actually, I found that E binding from B97D was hundred times higher (in kcal/mol) than MP2. I realize that I could not compare those two directly because dispersion energy was counted in. Did I miss something for binding energy calculation from E DFT-D?
