The nonadditive many-body interactions are significant for structural and thermodynamic properties of condensed phase systems. In this work we examined the many-body interaction energy of a large number of common organic/biochemical molecular clusters, which consist of 18 chemical species and cover nine common organic elements, using the Møller–Plesset perturbation theory to the second order (MP2) [Møller et al. Phys. Rev.1934, 46, 618.]. We evaluated the capability of Thole-based dipole induction models to capture the many-body interaction energy. Three models were compared: the original model and parameters used by the AMOEBA force field, a variation of this original model where the damping parameters have been reoptimized to MP2 data, and a third model where the damping function form applied to the permanent electric field is modified. Overall, we find the simple classical atomic dipole models are able to capture the 3- and 4-body interaction energy across a wide variety of organic molecules in various intermolecular configurations. With modified Thole models, it is possible to further improve the agreement with MP2 results. These models were also tested on systems containing metal/halogen ions to examine the accuracy and transferability. This work suggests that the form of damping function applied to the permanent electrostatic field strongly affects the distance dependence of polarization energy at short intermolecular separations.
