The three-body nonadditivity effect has a significant role for various physically important properties. However, since the nonadditivity effect is much smaller than two-body additivity one, its detection is quite difficult. In recent work, the authors have presented the formulas of nonadditivity contribution to the three-body interaction energy in terms of the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory with the Hartree-Fock approximation in Longuet-Higgins representation of the molecular charge distributions. The authors present the results of numerical calculation for the cyclic planar H{sub 2}O trimer as a polar system and CH{sub 4} trimer as a nonpolar system.
