Adiabatic corrections are evaluated for the interaction of two hydrogen molecules (H(2))(2) and isotopic variants. Their contribution to the cluster formation amount up to 10% of the interaction energy. Added to the best ab initio Born-Oppenheimer isotropic potential, they correct especially its short range repulsive part. Calculations of second virial coefficients are improved in general, with an impressive agreement with experiments for gaseous D(2) in a large range of temperatures. The potentials are available in both analytical and numerical forms.
