An approximate formula is derived and implemented in the general effective fragment potential (EFP2) method to model the intermolecular charge transferinteraction. This formula is based on second order intermolecular perturbation theory and utilizes canonical molecular orbitals and Fock matrices obtained with preparative self-consistent field calculations. It predicts charge transferenergies that are in reasonable agreement with the reduced variational space energy decomposition analysis. The formulas for the charge transfer gradients with respect to EFP translational and rotational displacements are also derived and implemented.
