Notes:
Usefulness of different Gaussian basis sets for reproducing the “tail” region of the SCF wavefunctions employed in calculations of the exchange-repulsion effect is investigated for the model He-He interaction. It has been shown that extension of the monomer-centered basis set in the scheme of regularized even-tempered basis sets [M. W. Schmidt and K. Ruedenberg, J. Chem. Phys. 71, 3951 (1979)] can be more efficient than augmentation of the fully energy-optimized basis set with diffuse basis functions. It has been also found that Landshoff term vanishes and the “tail” region is well reproduced if monomer wavefunctions are calculated with the basis set of the dimer.
