A new method of calculation of the second-order dispersion energy is proposed. It is based on the Longuet-Higgins formula [Faraday Discuss. Chem. Soc. 40, 7 (1965)], which describes the dispersion interaction in terms of frequency-dependent density susceptibilities of monomers. In this study, the density susceptibilities are obtained from the coupled cluster theory at the singles and doubles level. Density fitting is applied in order to reduce the computational effort for the evaluation of density susceptibilities. It is shown that density fitting improves the scaling of the computational resources with molecular size by one order of magnitude without affecting the accuracy of the resulting dispersion energy. Numerical results are presented for several van der Waals molecules to illustrate the performance of the new approach. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
