Abstract
In the present paper, we examine the possibility of expressing in terms of local contributions four important parts of the interaction energy between two molecules, namely the three well-known long-range terms (electrostatic polarization, dispersion) and the short-range 1st order exchange term. Such approximate decompositions are found for all these four terms. For the electrostatic energy, this is done for any molecular function, but for the three other terms a very important role is played in the derivation by the possibility of representing the ground-state of the molecules by Slater determinants built from localized molecular orbitals. For the 2nd order terms (polarization and dispersion), we first show, by using also the ‘excitonic’ representation of excited states, that the decomposition of the total molecular polarizability into local (bond) contributions is theoretically approximately justified, and we may derive on this basis the decomposition into local contributions of the polarization and dispersion energies. The difference between the type of decomposition for these two energies is emphasized. Finally two problems not treated in the paper are mentioned: the problem of analysing the charge-transfer term, and the problem posed by the insufficient localizability of the π-orbitals of aromatic molecules.
The content of this paper is also closely connected with the subject of Part III in Volume I (Expression of the Energy in Terms of Local Contributions’).
