Hello!

I must say I really enjoy your questions to CCL!

>         What is the aim of ESP ?

ESP=ElectroStatic Potential. A molecule or an ion creates an electrostatic
potential (due to nuclei and electrons present). The aim of ESP, up to
my understanding, is exactly what it proclaims -- model the electrostatic
potential created by the molecule by means of some easy-computed function,
such as superposition of point charges or whatever it takes to reproduce
reasonably well the electron density in the question. So, I would say that
the correct answer is
> (2) the determination of charge for the electrostatic interaction beteen
> molecules ?

Sincerely,
Dmitry Khoroshun

(2) is the correct answer.
