## Abstract The distinct molecular regions of a set of 28 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) showing varying degrees of carcinogenic activity (CA) have been analyzed on the basis of their calculated molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) at B3LYP/6‐31+G(d,p) level of theory. The MESP, being

✦ Synopsis
The adsorption of methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, ethylene, propene, 1-butene, 1,3-butadiene, acetylene, benzene, toluene, naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene on the basal plane of graphite has been studied by means of a semiempirical method proposed by Fraga based on a 1/R expansion of atomatom pair potentials. The energies of interaction obtained agree reasonably well with experimental data and statistical calculations. The orientation of the adsorbed molecules relative to the graphite surface rendered by Fraga's method improves the picture provided by other calculations with empirical potentials. These results display Fraga's method as an economical alternative for the study of physisorption of hydrocarbons on the graphite surface.
