Figure 6

Illustration of typical interactions occurring between benzene molecules (panels a and b) and between benzene and water (panels c and d). Panel (a) represents benzene-benzene T-shaped type of interaction (Figure 1) and (b) shows benzene-benzene interactions similar the eclipsed sandwich and parallel displaced orientations from the polarizable pure benzene simulation. Panel (c) represents a water interacting with the centroid of the benzene ring corresponding to the region of 3.3 Å and 10 – 20° in Figure 8 and (d) shows typical interactions of water around the edge of the benzene ring corresponding to the region of 4 – 6 Å and 40 to 90° in Figure 8 from the polarizable benzene-water simulation.
