On the basis set superposition error in supermolecular calculations of interaction-induced electric properties: many-body components

In the present paper we analyze basis set superposition error (BSSE) removal methods from many-body components of interaction-induced electric properties. The Valiron-Mayer function counterpoise (VMFC), site-site function counterpoise (SSFC) and TB methods have been employed in order to obtain the incremental optical components of linear hydrogen fluoride clusters (HF)n, where n = {3,4}. Following Mierzwicki and Latajka, who have performed similar calculations for the interaction energy, we compare those three methods of eliminating BSSE using several Dunning's correlation consistent basis sets.
