energy with the aug-cc-pvdz basis set is extrapolated to the CBS limit using the MP2/aug-cc-pv[tq]z level of theory)
accuracy in optimized geometries
method: (1) optimization of each frame in the reference torsion scan with varying combination of methods and basis sets. Then compare RMSD with the reference or (2) run entire torsiondrive for each combination
