(a) The thick-lined curve is the total nitrogen atom pair distribution function GN(Gdm)(r) of the Gdm+ cation in 3.33 mol of GdmCl and 55.55 mol of heavy water. [GN(Gdm) = 12.36gNH(r) + 4.56gNO(r) + 1.12(r) + 0.31gNC(r) + 0.45gNCl(r) − 18.80.] The dashed-line curve represents the corresponding intramolecular part of GN(Gdm)(r) calculated on the assumption that correlations between the nitrogen atom and other atoms in the molecule can be represented by a spread function of the form exp(−(r2/w)/r) (shown as a thin solid line, labeled with the correlation they represent) where w0 is the full width at half height of the peak. (b) The thick-lined curve is the total nitrogen atom pair distribution function GN(SCN)(r) of the SCN− anion in 5.00 mol of NaSCN and 55.55 mol of heavy water. [GN(SCN) = 6.21gNH(r) + 2.70gNO(r) + 0.33gNN(r) + 0.28gNC(r)+ 0.15gNNa(r) + 0.12gNS(r) − 9.80.] The thin-lined curve represents the corresponding intramolecular part of GN(SCN)(r) calculated by assuming that correlations between the nitrogen atom and other atoms in the molecule can be represented by a spread function of a form similar to that in a.
