Structure and total energies of the cis NO dimer, the trans NO dimer, and the NO monomer were calculated by ab initio methods (UHF, UMP2, and MP3) and density functional theory methods (LSDA and BLYP) with different basis sets [from 3-21G* to 6-311++(3df,3pd)]. The system is especially hard to model because two NO molecules are weakly associated in a dimer that has very long N-N bond. The results obtained by different methods are compared and the necessity of correlational methods for studying these systems is discussed.
