Nonpolarizable Models

Drawback: no dynamical response to the fluctuations of the electric fields is considered!

We need to implement polarizability in an explicit way!

Case of a Positive Point Charge

PD and SH models can be reparametrized to reproduce the polarizability tensor of the molecule & the dipole moment induced by a point charge;

Also at short distances there is no need to use damping functions;

High electric fields cause the linear models to fail due to hyperpolarizability effects;

Damping Functions

Thole (1981): for intramolecular interactions the molecular polarizability diverges at short distances

r

=(r,)

Many functional forms for the charge density have been proposed.

The most used are the exponential and the linear forms.

Conclusions and Future Work

Dimers with cations show a different behaviour from the case of positive point charges;

In the case of cations the use of damping functions for the electrostatic interactions is needed;

The Thole linear and exponential models have been applied to intermolecular interactions and reparametrized for the interactions cation-water and cation-CCl4.

Study the performance of the same methods with

anions (high polarizabilities!)
