1. Introduction

A frurtful approach to the model&g of intermolecular interactions in molecular fluids has been the use of so-called interaction site models (EMS) [I-4] _ In such models the interactions between molecular entrtres is represented by a sum of pair-wise addrtme spherically symmetric potent&s which act between sites located in the molecules. Potentials of this form are reasonable representations for both nonpolar [5-7] and highly polar molecules [8,9]. One mqor motivation for an ISM representation is that the mathematical aspects of the statistical mechanics of molecular systems is simplified, since no explicit orientatron dependence is necessary in the descnption of the interacttons The correspondmg graphical expansion formulation for these models has been developed in detail by Chandler and coworkers [2-4, 10, Ii]. An approximate integral equatron formulation known as the RISM equation [23, which leads to the site-site pair correlation functions has been developed and applied to the study of molecular liquids whose structure is dominated by short-range intermolecular repulsrve forces. The results of these studies have demonstrated that the RISM equation yields a reliable picture of the short-range structure of such liquids [7] - The quality of the results is particularly interesting in light of the fact that the nature of the approxrmations involved in the REM: equation is somewhat different from that familiar in the corresponding equa-

tions for atomic fluids. If analyzed in terms of the appropriate graphical formalism [IO], one finds that not only are a set of graph&d contributions omitted, but also a new class of diagrams with topologies not present in the exact expansion are introduced into the calculation. It 1s natural to ask whether the same type of integral equation can be productively applied to polar systerns. As for liquids composed of non-polar molecules, one can consider separately the theoretical predictions for the long and short-range structure of the fItrid [7,12]. For polar molecules the long-wavelength property of special interest is the static dielectric constant It is readiIy shown that for a broad class of closure relations the RISM integral equation leads only to the low-density ideal gas result [ I3]_ Nevertheiess, the question of the short-range behavior of the pair correlation functions remains open, and we investigate this aspect of the theory here. The present article is devoted to the development of the appropriate extension of the REM equation to the case in which moIecuIar sites bear charges, and an appIication to the simplest relevant modeI, namely, a fluid composed of neutraI diatomic molecules in which each of the pair of atoms is associated with a charge of equal magnitude. We test the predictions by comparison with molecular dynamics computer simulation results. In section 2, we present the formuIation of the integral equation in&ding the choice of closure. The resuits obtained for the dIatomIc model are presented in section 3. The conchrsions are given In section 4. 329

2. F o r m u l a t i o n o f the integral e q u a t i o n

%,(0 =f~v(r)[l + t~.(r)],

In this section we outline the extension o f the RISM integral e q u a t i o n t o a f o r m appropriate for the present purposes. We assume a familiarity with the elements o f the standard t h e o r y o f a t o m i c fluids [14] as well as the corresponding t h e o r y for an ISM representation and for the RISM e q u a t i o n [2--4, 10]. We make use o f the renormalization techniques and n o t a t i o n o f Rossky and Dale [15] and refer the reader there for detailed clef'tuitions and derivations o f the results employed. The RISM integral e q u a t i o n for intermolecular site--site correlations has a f o r m analogous to the usual O r n s t e i n - Z e r n i k e equation [14] for atomic fluids, n a m e l y (for a o n e - c o m p o n e n t molecular fluid o f density p),

where

p 2 h ( r ) = ~ * c * o a ( r ) + p2 co*c*h(r),

(1)

where h, t , . and c are matrices with elements labelled by paixs o f molecular sites, which we will d e n o t e by try, and * denotes convolution. Here hcr t is an intermolecular s i t e - s i t e pair correlation function, ca. r the c o r r e s p o n d i n g direct correlation function, and coa.~ is given b y

coa~ = pa a~a (r) + psa. t (r).

(2)

sc,~(r) is the intramolecular s i t e - s i t e pair distribution f u n c t i o n for distinct sites in a molecule, and vanishes for ot = T. The integral e q u a t i o n given in eq. ( I ) can be written c o m p a c t l y as a chain sum on hypervertices as (see ref. [ 1 5 ] )

p2h=p2 e [ c l

= sum o f all simple chains o f one or more c b o n d s on black to hypervertices between terminal white p circles.

The generalization for mixtures o f molecular species is immediate. In i t s original c o n t e x t , for molecules c o m p o s e d o f fused b2xd spheres, the needed closure c o n d i t i o n was imposed b y direct analogy to the hard-sphere P e r c u s Yevick (PY) t h e o r y [ 2 ] . The generalization to continuous potentials has been given [10] and applied t o molecules c o m p o s e d o f fused L e n n a r d - J o n e s spheres [ 12]. The PY-like closure takes the f o r m 330

Here. u t ~ ( r ) is the site--site potential and [3 = l l k B T , where k B is B o l t z m a n n ' s c o n s t a n t and T is the temperature. Here, we wish to consider molecules with charged sites. Hence, as in the case o f a t o m i c electrolytes [ 16], it is advantageous to renormalize the integral e q u a t i o n so as to remove any explicit reference to the longranged potential. D e n o t i n g this b y Ulr and defining u • = u - u Ix, the rearrangement can be carried o u t directly using the techniques o f refi [ 15]. F r o m eq. (3), we can obtain immediately

h= e[c--Ol~+Q]

+Q,

(5)

where (~ = --JfUlr and 0 = C [~1 o)]. T h e renormaliTation accomplished in eq. (5) is closely analogous to the D e b y e - H ~ c k e l r e s u m m a t i o n in electrolyte t h e o r y [ 17], where Q, here, corresponds to the screened Debye-Hfmkel potential. T h e chain sum Q has been considered as a leading a p p r o x i m a t i o n to h 0 s e w h e r e [1 1]. It is, however, i m p o r t a n t to n o t e that the presence o f the intramolecular correlation functions cause Q t o d e c a y as r - 6 rather than exponentially as it does in electrolytes [ 1 1 ] . In addition t o eq. (5) [which is equivalent to eq. (3)] a closure relation, analogous to that given in eq. (4), is necessary to f o r m a closed set o f equations. Here, we take the view that a reasonable choice is one analogous to that which is reasonably successful in the t h e o r y o f a t o m i c electrolytes [ 18]. This leads immediately to two alternatives. First, one can consider a closure analogous to the h y p e r n e t t e d chain (HNC) closure, n a m e l y ctz~' -- ~ ' 7 = exp(--lffu*a'r + Qa~, + T~b) - - 1 -- r ~ .

The latter choice has the apparent advantage that in the hmit of zero site charges, it reduces to eq. (4), the PY-lrke closure. The latter is already established as a good description for the uncharged case [6,12]. We note here that for liquid molecular densities, a(r) is rapidly decaying, and eq.

The solution of eq. (5) with either eq. (6) or eq. (8) as closure can be obtained usmg iterative schemes completely analogous to that used m earlier stu&es of atomic electrolyte solutions [ 16,18,20] _ The closures mtroduced above all lead tc approximate integral equations in the same sense as that mentroned in section 1. That IS, the site-site pair correlation functions which follow from a solution to eq. (5) usmg these includes only a subset of terms present m the exact graphical expansron for the ISM, and, in addrtion, mcludes a set of terms which are absent in the exact prescription. For the HNC closure [eq. (6)], both of these sets are larger than for the PYA closure [eq. (8)], and rt is only by trial calculatrons that the predrctive capacity of these equations can be tested.

3. Application

the atoms are separated by a rigid bond of length Z= l- 1 A (The difference between a rigid bond and onewith a reasonable standarddcviaticminbond length h negligible for the present purposes. as argued elsewhere 161.) A charge of +Ze is placed on one nucleus and a charge of -2e is pIaced on the other, where e is the magnitude of the electronic charge. Hence, the site-site interaction potential is us,(f)

For the present model, we use e/kB = 44 K, 0 = 3.341 A, and 2 = 3.2, which corresponds to a dipole moment of 1.06 D, a value comparable, for example, to that of CO. All calculations have been carried out at liquid-mtrogen conditrons *: T= 72 K and p = 0.01867 molecules/A3. 3.2. Simulationresults To test the validrty of the integral equation we have carried out molecular dynamics computer simulations of the charged and uncharged models_ The sample used consists of 216 diatomic molecules.

rparate smurlahons were carried out, using different runcation schemes for the potential, m order to enkure that the simulation results for ante-sate correlatron ktncttons were not sensittve to the boundary condrions. From these results, shown in fig. 1, it is evident that the results are not sensitive to the boundary coniittons, as expected from earlier studres [22]. In fig. 2 we give computer simulation results for 10th the uncharged case hNN(r) and for the charged :ase, b_(r) and k++(r). These results show a clear iplitting of h,, into the two charged components. For the uncharged case the geometrical interpretatron of &,I&) has already been given by several authors [S. 131. Upon charging the atomic centers, the small --T part sf the first peak in h&r) evolves in the major peak m k+_(r), a result of the coulombic attraction between dtes, the peak corresponds to the We-site contact distance. Correspondingly, the shoulder regon at ~4.3 A, correspondmg to stormc sues wrth an mtervenmg bonded atomrc partner, 1s depressed m h+_(r). For the ++ pair, the contact interaction has a repulsrve coulombic component, and the first peak m h,(r) slufts to larger r. The shoulder in h&r) evolves into the mam peak, corresponding to an mtervening bonded partner with a site charge which is opposite to that of both sites mvolved m the correlation fimctlon.

3.3. R&M results In fig. 3 we present the REM equation results and m fig. 4, we compare with those from the simulation (solid lure). The PYA results [eq. (8)] are indicated by fiied crrcles and the HNC results [eq. (6)J by triangles. As 1s evtdent from figs. 3 and 4, the integral equation provides a qualitatively correct description of the effect of the site charges. In partrcular, the splitting of the fint peak in h&r) accordmg to the charge type of the pair is properly accounted for. A discrepancy remams, some of which must be attributed to the underlying errors present in the integral equation in the absence of charge, as manifest by the comparison shown m fig. 2 (fdled circles). In this hght, the result for h+_(r) (fig. 4a) appears to be very satisfactory. For h++(r) the discrepancy is clearly larger, the amplitude being somewhat too small, and the sluft to larger r being underestrmated. It 1s clear from the results shown m fig. 4 that the altematrve closures [eq. (6) versus eq. (S)] yield quite snmlar results, and there 1s kttle evidence here to recommend one over the other. In the region just beyond the first maxunum, the PYA-like ciosure ap pears slightly more accurate, but the difference is not compelhng It IS interesting to note that the curves for the charged ste correlation func’ilons which follow from

charged sites- The renormahzed equation, combined with closures analogous to those used in electrolyte theory, has been applied to a simple model of a Quid composed of diatomic molecules similar to N,, but with partial charges of %.2c located at the nuclear centers. The results of this application have shown that the equation yields a qualitatively correct descrip tion of the intermoleculaf site-site correlations in the liquid when cornbared to computer simulation remits for the same model. These results are encouraging and indicate that the approach warrants further study, including, for example, the possibility for the PYA-like closure of employing a modified electrostatic potential which is optirmzed [2] in the region of strong T_enna.rd-Jones repulsion. A more detailed study of the integral equation and its predictions for a variety of models wiil be presented io a later paper.

It can be demonstrated [23] that the integral equation should exhibit this property to a high degree for the present case, in which the densrty IS high, and where, in the absence of charge, the sites are equivalent_
