✦ Synopsis

An expression for the intermoIecular dispersion potential describing the interaction between linear and spherical molecules is derived. All terms up to R-' have been included and a specific calculation performed for the Pairs HCl -He. HCI -Ie end HCI -Ar. A comparison is made with the corresponding expression obtained by -4. D. B&kinghem.

Recently. there has been considerable theoretical and experilnental interest in intermolecular forces.

Knowledge of these forces is of central importance for use in calculations of the optical properties of gaseous or liquid media. An improvement in the calculation of the dispersion forces between linear and spherical molecules was achieved when it was realized that
