Abstract
In molecular liquids one needs for the description of the configuration of a pair of molecules 6 variables: 3 components of the center-center vector and 3 Eulerian angles to define the relative orientation. The pair-correlation function g(R, Ω) is thus a function of these 6 variables; Ω=(α, β, γ) denotes here the Eulerian angles.
