This appendix has summarized interaction potentials between solvents and solutes. These interaction potentials lead
to an integrodifferential formulation of solvent properties such as distribution functions, analysis of excluded
volume interactions of macromolecules, and atomistic simulation in nanosystems.
The Lennard-Jones potential
was presented as a typical pair potential for interactions between molecules. Use of these sorts of function motivated
the Mayer f-function
which describes distribution functions in terms of interaction potentials, and the potential of mean
force
which describes interaction potentials in terms of distribution functions. The Mayer f-function was shown to be
related to the excluded volume around a molecule, and these pair potentials were combined with the
Ornstein-Zernike equation
 | (H.31) |
combined with a closure relation to predict the equilibrium properties of condensed matter. Nonequilibrium behavior
of liquids is predicted using atomistic simulations, which integrate Newton’s 2nd law at the molecular level. For
water, which is highly polar and cannot be modeled with only a Lennard-Jones interaction potential, a number of
models were presented which account for the distribution of charge and more accurately simulate molecular
interactions.
