## Abstract Parameters have been derived so as to enable the inclusion of deuterium in the MM2 molecular mechanics force field. Several compounds were studied and the results are compared with experiment. The results are never qualitatively wrong, but the accuracy ranges from excellent to only fair

โฆ Synopsis
The MM2lMMP2 force-field gives an incorrect description of benzene-benzene interactions. This deficiency may be overcome by the addition of electrostatic interactions. Using point charges of -0.15 on carbon and +0.15 on hydrogen, a good agreement between benzene dimer potentials calculated by MMP2 and ab initio SCF CI potentials is obtained. The influence of the addition of point charges on calculated structures and conformational energies has been studied. Examples are given in which the addition of electrostatic interactions between phenyl groups substantially improves calculated conformational energies.
