We show that these contributions converge quickly as the intermolecular distances between the monomers grow. In particular, the smallest value among the three pairwise intermonomer closest-contact distances, Rmin, shows a strong correlation with the three-body contribution to the lattice energy, and, here, the largest of the closest-contact distances, Rmax, serves as a cutoff criterion to limit the number of trimers to be considered. We considered all trimers up to Rmax=15A\u030a. The trimers with Rmin&amp;lt;4A\u030a contribute 90.4%, 90.6%, and 93.9% of the total three-body contributions for crystalline benzene, carbon dioxide, and triazine, respectively, for the coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] method. For trimers with Rmin&amp;gt;4A\u030a, the second-order M\u00f8ller\u2013Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) supplemented with the Axilrod\u2013Teller\u2013Muto (ATM) three-body dispersion correction reproduces the CCSD(T) values for the cumulative three-body contributions with errors of less than 0.1 kJ mol\u22121. Moreover, three-body contributions are converged within 0.15 kJ mol\u22121 by Rmax=10A\u030a. From these results, it appears that in molecular crystals where dispersion dominates the three-body contribution to the lattice energy, the trimers with Rmin&amp;gt;4A\u030a can be computed with the MP2+ATM method to reduce the computational cost, and those with Rmax&amp;gt;10A\u030a appear to be basically negligible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0143712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T02:36:52Z","timestamp":1675737412000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Assessment of three-body dispersion models against coupled-cluster benchmarks for crystalline benzene, carbon dioxide, and triazine"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"158","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4251-6219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Computational Molecular Science and Technology, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology , Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0400, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0900-2849","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary L.","family":"Glick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Computational Molecular Science and Technology, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology , Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0400, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5570-7666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.
