Abstract
Cohesive energy and the Grüneisen parameter of cubic adamantane, bicyclo [2.2.2] octane and methane have been studied using Lennard—Jones (6–12) intermolecular potential function. A procedure for the proper evaluation of the potential parameters, which also showed temperature dependence, is described. On the basis of the theoretical results, which are in satisfactory agreement with those obtained experimentally, the applicability of the Lennard—Jones (6–12) function in explaining the lattice properties of these molecular crystals has been discussed.
