Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using large basis sets and Moller-Plesset perturbation theory to fourth order have been used to re-examine the Be-OH2 complex. The potential energy surface is found to have inner and outer minima separated by a barrier of about 2 kcal/mol. The inner minimum (Be-O distance of 1.74 angstrom) has a well-depth of about 1 kcal/mol and the outer minimum (Be-O distance of about 3.2 angstrom) has a well-depth of about 0.5 kcal/mol.
