I guess this depends on what you mean by intermolecular energies, i.e. what
do you really want? PME energies are not pairwise decomposable in the way
that conventional force fields are. If you want the interaction energy
between two specific molecules, anal could do that for you. But since the
reciprocal part of the energy includes both "inter" and "intra" components,
it's not clear how such a division would be made (or what use it would be
in the first place...)
