Dear all, in "Semiempirical Molecular Orbital Methods" (Rev.Comp.Chem. 2(1990)pp 45-81) J.J.P. Stewart describes 'strong and weak points of NDDO semiempirical methods'. What I am interested in is whether there is any further reference regarding the value of semiempiric methods (AM1, PM3, also ZINDO-1) especially for the description of intermolecular pi-pi interaction of aromatic molecules. I would appreciate any hint on reported results or experience with that, will summarize if it seems appropriate. Greetings Michael Neuber : at : Berlin
