HB Potential by Gaussian Functions

Recognizing the fact that the hydrogen bond occurs only along four directions pointing to the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, we can use the four unit vectors introduced in Section 6.2 (see Fig. 6.2) to construct a HB potential function. This we denote by C/hb(Xi, Xg), so that the full effective pair potential is a superposition of three terms [Pg.241]

Construction of a HB Potential Function Based on the Bjerrum Mode for Water [Pg.243]

The hydrogen bond potential in this case consists of the 16 Coulom-bic interactions between the pairs of point charges situated on different molecules, which can be written as [Pg.243]

In the construction of the total pair potential, we need not take an additional term for the dipole-dipole interaction, as in (6.14). However, in order to avoid divergence of the potential function when two charges of opposite signs come very close to each other, we use a switching function S(i i2) which serves to suppress this possibility by switching off the HB potential at close distances. The specific function S R chosen by Ben-Naim and Stillinger (1972) is [Pg.244]

Note that the value of ly = 0.19 is slightly larger than the value of 77 = 0.17 chosen by Bjerrum to reproduce the dipole moment of a free water molecule. The combined potential function is thus [Pg.244]
