Nonadditive contribution to the interaction energy in water trimer is analyzed in terms of Heitler–London exchange, SCF deformation, induction and dispersion nonadditivities. Nonadditivity originates mainly from the SCF deformation effect which is due to electric polarization. However, polarization does not serve as a universal mechanism for nonadditivity in water. In the double‐donor configuration, for example, the Heitler–London exchange contribution is the most important and polarization yields the wrong sign. Correlation effects do not contribute significantly to the nonadditivity. A detailed analysis of the pair potential is also provided. The present two‐body potential and its components are compared to the existing …

This paper presents the first ab initio attempt to construct the stretching fundamentals νFX and νF...N (X=H, D, Li) in the FX...NH3 complexes taking into account the mechanical anharmonicity. A potential‐energy surface V(rFX,RF...N) grid was generated at the self‐consistent‐field and second‐order Møller–Plesset levels. The coefficients fitting the potential‐energy surface up to the fourth order have been used to compute the νFX and νF...N stretching modes. The vibrational problem is solved by means of a variational treatment which includes the effects of mechanical …
