Keesom cohesive energy

In linear polymers, cohesion results from weak (compared with covalent bonds) intermolecular attractive forces (Van der Waals) of various types London, Debye, Keesom, and hydrogen bonding. In a first approach, they can be considered undistinguishable, and one can define cohesive energy as the whole energy of intermolecular interactions. For small molecules, cohesive energy is easy to determine from calorimetric measurements since...
