Abstract
The SWPS method is improved by the addition of H.E.G. contractions for generating a more compact basis. An error in the definition of the internal fragment axis system used in our previous calculation is described and corrected. Fully coupled 6D (rigid monomers) VRT states are computed for several new water dimer potential surfaces and compared with experiment and our earlier SWPS results. This work sets the stage for refinement of such potential surfaces via regression analysis of VRT spectroscopic data.
