    Abstract

    We consider the performance of combined PNO-F12 approaches for the interaction energies of water clusters as large as (H2O)20 by comparison to canonical CCSD(T)/CBS reference values obtained through n-body decomposition of post-MP2 corrections. We find that PNO-LCCSD(T)-F12b approaches with "Tight"cutoffs are generally capable of reproducing canonical CCSD(T) interaction energies to within ∼0.25% and isomerization energies to ∼1.5%, while requiring only a fraction of the canonical computational cost. However, basis set convergence patterns and effect of counterpoise corrections are more erratic than for canonical calculations, highlighting the need for canonical benchmarks on closely related systems.
