BSSE energy coming too high !!


Gets Around
Hi.
I am trying to calculate the interaction energy between two monomers connecting with NH---OC. My following code is giving an energy value of 0.047Hartree or ~25kcal/mol, seems impossible for electrostatic interaction.

Can't diagnose the reason for such high energy output.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
