Abstract
Polarized bases set approach has been applied for preparation of medium-size contracted GTO basis sets starting from various standard energy-optimized and even-tempered isotropic atomic basis sets. Their usefulness for calculation of the SCF interaction energy and its components as well as dispersion energy consistently determined within the dimer basis set were studied for He2 and Be2 systems for intermediate internuclear separations. The results obtained with polarized basis sets indicate their good performance in comparison with property oriented ones.
