This force field was originally designed for fluid simulations of O<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>. Note that this is a Lennard-Jones force field that uses Lorentz-Berthelot mixing rules so it is easily combined with other force fields. Any discrepencies (especially typos) from the published values are the sole responsibility of Marcus G. Martin, and I welcome feedback on how this implementation compares with other programs. </ul> <b>References for Coon1987</b> <ul> What I term Coon1987 is described in the following paper. <ul> <li><a href="../references.html#coon_et_al_1987">Coon <i>et al.</i> 1987</a></li> </ul> </ul> <b>Coon1987 in Towhee</b> <ul> The official force field name for Coon <i>et al.</i> 1987 in Towhee is 'Coon1987'. Here I list all of the atom names for use in the towhee_input file, along with a brief description. I created these atom names in order to work with the molecule assembler. Please note that the capitalization and spacing pattern is important and must be followed exactly as listed here. <ul> <li><b>'O'</b> : Oxygen bonded to another oxygen in O<sub>2</sub></li> <li><b>'N'</b> : Nitrogen bonded to another nitrogen in N<sub>2</sub></li> </ul> </ul> <b>Coulombic interactions</b> <ul> This force field does not assign any coulombic interactions to the atoms. The 'bond increment' method of <b>charge_assignment</b> is implemented for this forcefield, but it just assigns zero charge to all of the atoms. Please see the <a href="../inpstyle/inpstyle_2.html">inpstyle 2</a> documentation for further information on enabling this option. Otherwise, you are welcome to manually set the charges. Here I list the charges that are assigned by the 'bond increment' method. <ul> <li><b>'O'</b> 0.0</li> <li><b>'N'</b> 0.0</li> </ul> </ul> <a href="../towhee_capabilities.html">Return to the Towhee Capabilities web page</a> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <hr width="715" align="left"> <i><font size="2">Send comments to:</font></i> <font size="2"> <a href="mailto:marcus_martin@users.sourceforge.net">Marcus G.
