Interoscillator coupling in MBD is introduced using the dipole-dipole interaction tensor T AB . The widely used MBD@rsSCS variant employs empirical shortrange damping in T AB , tuned for coupling with specific DFAs. This DFA+MBD@rsSCS approach is tailored to accurately reproduce total binding energies of dimers , but the MBD@rsSCS dispersion energy is not comparable to ab initio reference. Instead, here we use the fully-coupled dipole interaction (without DFAspecific short-range damping, see Eq. ( )) and the vdW-OQDO parametrization, providing both accurate dispersion energies and vdW-induced density polarization. This parameter-free MBD variant, namely FCO-MBD, is applied throughout. Where context allows, we will use the words FCO-MBD and MBD interchangeably.
