Behavior of counterpoise correction in many-body molecular clusters of organic compounds: Hartree-Fock interaction energy perspective.

ABSTRACT: The counterpoise (CP) correction by Boys and Bernardi has been well accepted as a reliable strategy to account for basis set superposition error (BSSE) in intermolecular complexes. The behavior of the CP correction was thoroughly studied in individual molecules of molecular complexes. This work studies the performance of the CP correction in many-body clusters including three-body clusters of organic compounds in the 3B-69 dataset. Additionally, we used crystal structures of polymorphs of benzene, aspirin, and oxalyl dihydrazide (ODH) to construct a many-body cluster dataset, abbreviated as the MBC-36 dataset, consisting of two, four and eight molecules, and 16 molecules in the case of benzene. A series of Dunning's basis sets-cc-pXZ and aug-cc-pXZ (X = D and T)-were used to predict CP-cor
