Abstract

The forgotten "atom dipole interaction model" in which several induced dipoles in a molecule can interact is investigated. This model leads to an anisotropic (tensor) polarizability of a molecule using only isotropic (scalar) atomic contributions. A three-site model of water reproducing the experimental tensor polarizability is developed and tested using molecular dynamics calculations.
