<div>Dear Matt,</div><div> For Br, DZVP is the large basis set available in cp2k. From last two days, i am continuously running tests on different ion pairs. All calculations show considerable difference compared to MP2 results. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I will repeat the calculations with extra diffuse functions wherever possible.</div><div><br></div><div>(when i did the calculations on different ion-pairs, i got huge differences in some cases also ( -40 kcal/mol difference)</div>

<div>Maybe the basis set is not good enough for the anion? You could see whether extra diffuse functions make a big difference...</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div><div><div><br>On Tuesday, July 3, 2012 11:13:18 AM UTC+1, sandeep wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div>Hi,</div><div> Towards solving this, I have done binding energy calculations for molecular systems (where they interact through hydrogen bonds) and this value matches with MP2 results. </div><div><br></div><div>It looks like the problem comes in for ionic systems.

<div><br></div><div>My system one ion pair (it's an ionic liquid). I did geometry optimizations of cation, anion and ion-pair and calculated the binding energy. This value is equal to <b>-119</b> <b>kcal/mol</b>. After adding BSSE corrections, it is reduced to <b>-116</b> kcal/mol. For comparison, i carried out same calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level using Gaussian package and this value is equal to -104 kcal/mol (BSSE corrected). A difference of 10 kcal/mol of such calculation is discouraging. </div>
