Abstract
An earlier investigation of crystalline carbonyl sulphide established a connection between the functional form of the intermolecular potential and its ability to lead to exact agreement with the experimental values of a number of representative properties. In the present work, the treatment is extended to include a further property: the compressibility. This is dominated by the short range of the potential and a range of calculations suggest an optimum value of the repulsive exponent of around nine. Values of the elastic moduli are also calculated and the extent of elastic stability determined.
