Abstract
In this paper we study two-dimensional flexible interaction-site molecules composed of n tangent hard discs. In particular, we obtain exact results for the n-site probability function for isolated tangent-hard-disc chains and rings with n⩽6. All configurational properties of the chain and ring n -mers can be determined from this probability function. We present analytical and ‘exact’ numerical results for the mean-square site–site separations, mean-square radii of gyration, average shape and two-site intramolecular distribution functions.
