Atomistic energy profiles (dash lines) for the vdW interactions
between homodimers of the (A) CH4, (C) HCONH2, and (E) C6H6 molecules, each of which adopts
different special configurations at various separations, were constructed
using AMOEBA all-atom model. The solid lines represent Gay–Berne
interaction energies. Meanwhile, the correlations between the Gay–Berne
and AMOEBA results for the vdW interactions between homodimers of
(B) CH4, (D) HCONH2, and (F) C6H6, were measured in this work, respectively.
