Dear Giacomo,

>> Can I calculate MAV (PAV) to describe in a reliable way the potential 
profile of an ASYMMETRIC, NOT-periodic, interface constituted by an 
organic molecule on top of a Metal Oxide surface?

I would say that the non-periodicity and the asymmetric geometry are not issues 
for this kind of calculation. Actually calculating and plotting the 
electrostatic potential is a good tool to check the electrostatic of your slab 
(for instance spurious dipole between the top of your slab and the periodic 
image of its bottom)

>> And if so, how large is the basis set dependance of MAV (PAV)?

In my experience the basis dependance is not particularly pronounced for this 
kind of calculation and certainly not as in a Mulliken population analysis. If 
you use a good DZP you should be on the safe side.

Dozou yoroshiku onegai shimasu,
Riccardo
