Expand description
Non-bonded (intermolecular) interaction potentials.
Non-bonded interactions occur between atoms not directly connected by the bond topology, typically including van der Waals forces, electrostatics, and specific hydrogen bonding terms.
§Components
§Van der Waals (vdW)
Models short-range repulsion (Pauli exclusion) and long-range attraction (dispersion).
LennardJones: Classic 12-6 potential.Buckingham: Exponential-6 potential with softer repulsion.SplinedBuckingham: $C^2$ continuous variant of Buckingham with polynomial regularization at short range.
§Electrostatics
Models Coulombic interactions between partial charges.
Coulomb: Standard $1/r$ electrostatic potential.
§Hydrogen Bonding
Explicit terms for hydrogen bond directionality and strength (DREIDING specific).
HydrogenBond: 12-10 potential with angular dependence.
