An Intermolecular Potential Function for Cyclen-Water Derived from Ab-Initio Molecular Orbital Calculations

  • Supot V. Hannongbua and Bernd M. Rode

An interaction pair potential function for 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-cyclododecane (cyclen) and water has been derived from ab-initio molecular orbital computations. The 250 computed points of the energy surface for the water-cyclen interaction have been fitted with an analytical potential of the form

where A, B. C, and D are constants, and qi, and qj are the atomic charges of the i-th atom of water and the j-th atom of cyclen at infinite separation.
