CCL: Benzene Dimer Conformation

Dear All
I tried couple of times to optimize the various conformations of benzene-
benzene dimer (T-shape, displaced and sandwich), without any achievement. All
of them went to the displaced conformations. I used MP2/6-311+G** level of
optimization.
So, I was wondering if you have the optimized structures of these conformations
where I may start my calculation at. I would appreciate your help.
Thanks
Happy New Year to all

Have you looked at this paper - Christophe Chipot, Richard Jaffe, Bernard Maigret, David A. Pearlman, and Peter A. Kollman, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1996, 118 (45), pp 11217â11224

Cheers,
