We present an approach to understanding crystal packing via 'energy frameworks', that combines efficient calculation of accurate intermolecular interaction energies with a novel graphical representation of their magnitude. In this manner intriguing questions, such as why some crystals bend with an applied force while others break, and why one polymorph of a drug exhibits exceptional tabletabili...

We have optimized the geometry and calculated interaction energies for over 100 different complexes of CO(2) with various combinations of electron accepting (Lewis acid) and electron donating (Lewis base) molecules. We have used the recently developed explicitly correlated coupled cluster singles doubles and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)-F12] methods and the associated VXZ-F12 (where X = D,T,Q)...

Anisotropic dielectric relaxations in several binary nematic mixtures of MBBA and non-mesogenic compound oriented by magnetic field were measured in the frequency range of 300 Hz to 3 MHz. Viscosity measurements were also made in the isotropic state. Non-mesogenic compounds used were non-linear shaped molecules such as chloroform, m-xylene, and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and nearly linear shaped m...

     Most of the biological phenomena are influenced by intermolecular recognition and interaction. Thus, understanding the thermodynamics of biomacromolecule ligand interaction is a very interesting area in biochemistry and biotechnology. One of the most powerful techniques to obtain precise information about the energetics of (bio) molecules binding to other biological macromolecules is isoth...

The thermal denaturation of adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been investigated in the presence of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) over the temperature range of (293-363K) in 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4 by temperature scanning spectroscopy. The interaction of SDS caused the folding of adenosine deaminanse resulting in a decrease of TH (temperature of minimum solubility), TS<...

An inversion procedure is used to obtain from the extended principle of corresponding - states the pair interaction potentials for argon, krypton and its mixture over a tetnperature range from absolute zero to the onset of ionization. The experimentally-reduced viscosity collision integrals obtained from the corresponding - states correlation have been inverted directly to give the reduced...

Various characteristics of mesomorphism can be explained using intermolecular interactions between a pair of liquid crystalline molecules. The intermolecular interactions have been calculated considering multipole-multicentere expansion method and modified by second order perturbation treatments. For calculation of multipole i.e. charge, dipole, etc. at each atomic center of molecules, para-but...

Intermolecular kinetic-energy operators are derived ~in the rigid monomer approximation! for solute–solventn clusters of the type B–An , where B is a molecule and A is either an atom or a molecule. The operators are obtained for a body-fixed frame embedded in the B moiety and parallel to the principal axes of that species. They are expressed in terms of intermolecular coordinates that represent...
