Abstract
In this paper, the roles of interbond angles, bond lengths, and electric charges in intermolecular electrostatic Chiral Discrimination (ChD) in the regimes of high temperature T and large intermolecular distance D are investigated. When both interacting molecules have asymmetries involving only interbond angles, or bond lengths, or charges, ChD varies as D-17, D-21, D-24, respectively. In addition, ChD due to dispersion forces is studied. Given the popularity of computer calculations, the estimation of ChD between the various types of molecules can be used as a testbed for accuracy.
