CCL:G: BSSE energy difference in G03 and NWChem



Sir partha biswas,

In this nwchem input you are not computing a M05-2x calculation,

Sir,

I have ran the BSSE calculation for water-ammonia cluster in NWCHem as well
as in Gaussian03.I have used the dft method m05-2x/6-31g as the basis set.
Both the jobs ran successfully with following results:

In NWChem

BSSE Error= 0.001774669
Corrected energy = -132.89948836
In Gaussian

BSSE energy = 0.00165022
Corrected energy = -132.89804157

My concern is that the corrected energies values differ by a value of
3KJ/Mol(0.9kcal/mol) whereas the BSSE errors differ by
0.32kJ/mol(0.077kcal/mol).
So what is the reason for huge difference in corrected energies ..!!.
Moreover I have ran the BSSE Calculation in NWchem and Gaussian03 with HF
method also.There i have found the results quite similar in Gaussian and
NWChem.

In NWChem(HF/6-31g)

BSSE Error= 0.001387039
Corrected energy = -132.162177794
In Gaussian03(HF/6-31g)

BSSE Error= 0.0013870449
Corrected energy = -132.162177768
