Abstract

An analytical potential function for the pairwise interaction of methane and water is reported. The function is representative of 225 ab initio quantum‐mechanical calculations of the intermolecular interaction using 6–31G self‐consistent‐field molecular‐orbital theory. The statistical parameters of the curve fitting are given and isoenergy contour maps of the interaction energy are presented and discussed.
