Abstract

A simple method for determination of the angular orientation of water molecules in the first coordination sphere from the radial distribution functions is proposed. A comparative analysis of the ability of the model potentials of pair interaction to take into account the effects of manybody interactions (MBI) was performed. The responses of the model pair potentials to the MBI effects in the first and second coordination spheres were found to be poorly correlated with each other. It was concluded that it is necessary to derive a new analytical type of potential functions of pair interaction.
