Up to now, the intermolecular potential models are only fair in reproducing the wavenumbers of the external modes. Although various refinements have been made, none of the models seems to be superior to the others. More recently developed intermolecular potentials have been applied to structural and thermodynamical studies but not to the analysis of the vibrational spectra [122-125]. 

As pointed out earlier, the present treatment attempts to clarify the connection between the sticking probability and the mutual forces of interaction between particles. The van der Waals attraction and Bom repulsion forces are included in the analysis of the relative motion between two electrically neutral aerosol particles. The overall interaction potential between two particles is calculated through the integration of the intermolecular potential, modelled as the Lennard-Jones 6-12 potential, under the assumption of pairwise additivity. The expression for the overall interaction potential in terms of the Hamaker constant and the molecular diameter can be found in Appendix I of (1). The Brownian motions of the two particles are no longer independent because of the interaction force between the two. It is, therefore, necessary to describe the relative motion between the two particles in order to predict the rate of collision and of subsequent coagulation. 

A key question about the use of any molecular theory or computer simulation is whether the intermolecular potential model is sufficiently accurate for the particular application of interest. For such simple fluids as argon or methane, we have accurate pair potentials with which we can calculate a wide variety of physical properties with good accuracy. For more complex polyatomic molecules, two approaches exist. The first is a full ab initio molecular orbital calculation based on a solution to the Schrddinger equation, and the second is the semiempirical method, in which a combination of approximate quantum mechanical results and experimental data (second virial coefficients, scattering, transport coefficients, solid properties, etc.) is used to arrive at an approximate and simple expression. 

Carbon tetrafluoride. Carbon tetra-fluoride, which undergoes a transition to a plastically crystalline (orientationally disordered) phase, has been investigated by the Parrinello-Rahman molecular dynamics method under constant-pressure conditions (6). A simple intermolecular potential model of the Lennard-Jones form was derived by taking into account the experimen-... 

The temperature-dependent second and third virial coefficient describe the increasing two- and three-particle collisions between the gas molecules and their accompanying increase in gas density. The virial coefficients are calculated using a suitable intermolecular potential model (usually a 12-6 Lennard-Jones Potential) from rudimentary statistical thermodynamics. 

Structural studies in fused salts by means of careful and thorough high-temperature measurements of electrical conductivity, density, viscosity, and laser- Raman spectroscopy have been reviewed. Four problem areas are discussed (1) melting mechanisms of ionic compounds with large polyatomic cations, (2) salts as ultra-concentrated electrolyte solutions, (3) structural aspects and Raman spectroscopy, and (4) electrolysis of molten carbonates. The results in these areas are summarized and significant contributions to new experimental techniques for molten-salt studies are discussed.275 The physical properties and structure of molten salts have also been reviewed in terms of operational (hole, free volume, partly disordered crystal) and a priori (intermolecular potential) models.276 Electrochemistry... 

Luo237 has attempted to establish a power law for scaling the static y-hyperpolarizabilites of the fullerenes as a function of the number of carbon atoms. C6o does not fit into the relationship, a result attributed to its exceptional electron localization. An intermolecular potential model of with distributed dipole interactions has been used by Gamba238 to obtain the polarizability and multipole moments. Measurements of the third order response of fullerenes in CS2 have been reported by Huang et al.239 and correlated with chemical structure. 

Further evidence of these unphysical features were given later by Jedlovszky and Vallauri [162] through their Reverse Monte Carlo simulation study which also does not rely on any intermolecular potential model [163]. Their results showed that the NDIS-93 correlation functions could not possibly represent any geometrical arrangement of water molecules. Other experimental studies using spectroscopy [97-99] are also consistent with these findings and in contradiction to the NDIS-93 conclusions.

Dielectric Properties of Water Studies of the Simple Point Charge and Transferrable Intermolecular Potential Models. 

The interplay between molecular simulations and neutron-scattering experiments on supercritical or ambient water was realized by Chialvo et al. (155). They claimed that the excellent agreement between two techniques is an indication of the increasing reliability of the intermolecular potential models and the accuracy of the simulation results giving us greater confidence in our abilities to measure and predict the microstructural properties of water at all condition.

Configurational-bias methods trace their ancestry to biased sampling for lattice polymer configurations proposed by Rosenbluth and Rosenbluth [85]. Development of configurational-bias methods for canonical and grand canonical simulations and for continuous-space models took place in the early 1990s [86-90] and dramatically expanded the range of intermolecular potential models that can be studied by the methods described in the previous sections. 

In the area of applications, an important goal for research in coming years will be to develop a set of pure component group-based potentials and combining rules that can be used for general predictions of both pure component and mixture phase behavior. Early results for realistic mixtures [117] suggest that relatively simple intermolecular potential models can be used to predict the phase behavior of broad classes of binary systems. For mixtures with large differences in polar character of the components. 

SAFT intermolecular-potential model parameters are traditionally determined by fitting to experimental data, as other equations of state for pure compound parameters vapour pressure and saturated liquid densities are typically used. These properties are chosen as the vapour pressure is of key interest in practical applications and depends strongly on the energy parameters, while the use of liquid density data is important in determining size related parameters. 

Comparison with Experiment. We consider systems involving the polar constituents HCl and HBr, and the quadrupolar constituents CO2, ethane, ethylene and acetylene, together with the nonpolar monatomic fluid xenon. For the like pair interaction the Intermolecular potential models used were ... 

The use of the HNC approximation to study the equilibrium properties of electrolytes and polar fluids is now widespread. Recent examples are the investigations of multipolar fluids by Fries and Patey (1985), the study of the TIPS (transferable intermolecular potentials) model for water and alkali halides in water by Pettitt and Rossky (1982, 1986), and a central-force model for water by Thuraisingham and Friedman (1983). Studies of the rod-like polyelectrolytes (Bacquet and Rossky, 1984) using the HNC approximation have shown qualitative agreement with Manning s (1969, 1978) counter-ion condensation theory, but some quantitative predictions of the theory are not borne out. In the section on WEAK ELECTROLYTES AND DIPOLAR DUMBBELLS, we discuss the sticky electrolyte model for weak electrolytes and acids, which has also been solved numerically in the HNC approximation (Rasaiah and Lee, 1985a).

There are a few areas where more research would be immediately helpful. The first is the large scale off-lattice computer simulation of realistic polymer blends. This will help test the approximations in the liquid state theories. The second is the development of equations of state for hard chain mixtures where the components have different molecular architectures. This will be useful because integral equations are not expected to be quantitatively accurate for the hard chain pressure, and attractions are easily incorporated via a perturbation theory. Finally, accurate intermolecular potential models for more polymers will, of course, be invaluable. 

Regardless of the difference of intermolecular potential models the simulation results of Table 9 indicate that, as opposed to the high temperature case, dissociation is more favorable than the association. Note that while the type of solvent model should have a strong effect on the association constant (through the dielectric constant ), this effect is cancelled in the corresponding expressions for the rate and equilibrium constant. Therefore, the disagreement in the TST rate constant of Table 9 must be the result of the difference in ion-water potentials.
