Title: Systematic study of basis set superposition errors in the calculated interaction energy of two HF molecules

We find large counterpoise corrections for all configurations studied, and we show that using a large enough basis set so that the counterpoise correction is small does not guarantee accurate results. Furthermore even for smaller basis sets the inclusion of counterpoise corrections does not systematically improve the accuracy of the calculations.Read More
