Abstract
The extremely important role of intermolecular forces in determining equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties and phenomena of matter is by now a well established point. In spite of this recognition and the awareness that quantum mechanics is the natural framework to be used for a proper understanding of intermolecular interactions, a fully rigorous approach for these is not yet well established, especially if one pursues the ambitious program of dealing with the whole range of separations between the interacting partners.
