An empirical potential energy function based on the interactions of electrons and nuclei (EPEN) has been tested on molecules other than those used for its parameterization. The results indicate that this energy function is able to predict reliably the lowest energy conformations, the potential energy differences between conformations, rotational barrier heights, and dipole moments for a series of alkanes, amines, alcohols, and carbohydrates. Crystal packing studies on n-hexane, n-octane, methylamine, methanol, and alpha-d-glucose, using this same potential, indicate that it is also reliable for calculating intermolecular interaction energies and low-energy orientations.
一种基于电子与原子核相互作用的经验势能函数(EPEN)已在用于参数化的分子以外的其他分子上进行了测试。结果表明,该能量函数能够可靠地预测一系列烷烃、胺、醇和碳水化合物的最低能量构象、构象之间的势能差、旋转势垒高度和偶极矩。使用相同势能对正己烷、正辛烷、甲胺、甲醇和α-D-葡萄糖进行的晶体堆积研究表明,它在计算分子间相互作用能和低能量取向方面也是可靠的。
