Abstract
It is shown that the asymptotic properties of the reference interaction site model (RISM)-2 type integral equations for polyatomic molecular fluids are quite similar to those of simple fluids. The exact asymptotic form of the new site-site direct correlation function C αγ ( r ), which is defined by the site-site Ornstein-Zernike equation, is given by using the exact asymptotic form of the site-site total correlation function. The result is C αγ ( r )≃- U (1, 2)/ k B T for nonpolar fluids composed of homonuclear diatomic molecules as well as heteronuclear diatomic molecules, where U (1, 2) is an intermolecular potential, k B the Boltzmann constant and T the absolute temperature. The asymptotic form of C αγ ( r ) given by the RISM-2 approximations is found to be in accordance with the exact result. Thus, the RISM-2 theory is concluded to have no theoretical inconsistency like that in the RISM-1 theory.
