Dear CCL mailist members !
I want to calculate potential energy function in PVDF with molecular mechanics approach. I will calculate the energy in two term : steric and electrostatic term.
I get some problems , i.e :
1. In steric term I will use a group of non-bonded pairwase potential energy function that suggested by DeSantis.

	a	      b	   c	Potensial
C  C 3,012 x 10^5    0	  327,2   P = a/r^12  c/r^6
F  F 1,057 x 10^5  4,608 125,1	  P = ae^-br  c/r^6
H  H 3,716 x 10^3  3,071 89,52	  P = ae^-br  c/r^6
C  F 1,785 x 10^5  2,304 202,2	  P = (ae^-br  c)/r^6
C  H 3,347 x 10^4  1,535 589,0	  P = (ae^-br  c)r^6
F  H 1,982 x 10^4  3,839 497,6	  P = ae-b^r  c/r^6

My questions are :
a. Why DeSantis use Lenard-Jones Potential in C-C interaction but Buckingham potential in F-F,H-H, and  F-H interactions ? Why must be different ?
b. I have never seen equation both of C-F and C-H interaction ? How can I derive it with classical mechanics approach ?

2. In electrostatic term, I get a problem to determine the partial charges of QH, QF, QH2 and QF2. My refference suggested to use Del Re Method. What's Del Re Method ? Where can I learn this method ?

Thank You for Your Help !

Hello ! CCLers

Last month(last century!), I sent a question as follows:
>   I'm looking for polymer designing methods which are using semi-empirical
> or ab-initio MO, and or DFT. Especially I would like to design 1) conductive
> polymer, 2) ferroelectric polymer.
>
>   If you know the articles or Web sites which are describing the method of
> them, please let me know.

Then I received very useful and helpful replys.
I summarize and introduce them. If you have any question of them, please let me
know.

Thanks a lot !

---- 1)from Doug Smith -----
A few years ago I ran a small business that did exactly what you are asking
about.  Somre references:

Douglas A. Smith, Charles W. Ulmer, II, Bobby G. Sumpter, and Donald W.
Noid, "Rational Design of Polymeric Materials Using Neural Networks,"
Scientific Computing & Automation 1997, 14(9), 51 - 55.

Charles W. Ulmer, II, Douglas A. Smith, Bobby G. Sumpter, and Donald W.
Noid, "Computational Neural Networks and the Rational Design of Polymeric
Materials:  The Next Generation Polycarbonates," J. Comput. Theo. Poly.
Sci., 1998, 8, 311 - 321.

We also received a U.S. Patent, # 5,629,404, in 1997 for the materials
designed by molecular modeling


---- 2)from Stephan Irle ----
During my PhD thesis I studied polythiohenes and poly(p-phenyl)
dope with Li and Cl atoms at the ab initio and DFT level of
theory. You can find more information at:

http://euch4m.chem.emory.edu/~irle/Polaron/index.html

and four papers that I wrote at
