By developing a polarization-consistent charge transfer model (D-CTD) and accurately calibrated non-covalent energy components, i.e. electrostatic, polarization, charge transfer, vdW (dispersion + replusion), close to the SAPT2+/CBS accurarcy, we are able to develop a force field with quantum mechanical accuracy.
