Abstract

Calculations of molecular aggregation using Fraga's intennolecular potential plus dispersion energy term were performed for dimers, trimers and tetramers of coronene. The program (AMYR) was adapted in order to include geometry optimization of more than one pair of systems. The results indicate that the most stable dimer corresponds to a stacked-displaced structure (stk-d). Trimers prefer a geometrical configuration where the coronenes are ordered in a helical way. Tetramers stabilize in a compact structure where four stk-d interactions occur. Based on these results general trends for larger systems are proposed.
