 Title: A GENERAL TRANSFORMATION TO CANONICAL FORM FOR POTENTIALS IN PAIRWISE INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS Author(s): Rivera-Rivera, Luis A. Contributor(s): Bevan, John W.; Lucchese, Robert R.; Walton, Jay R. Subject(s): Non-covalent interactions Abstract: A generalized formulation of explicit transformations is introduced to investigate the concept of a canonical potential in both fundamental chemical and intermolecular bonding. Different classes of representative ground electronic state pairwise interatomic interactions are referenced to a single canonical potential illustrating application of explicit transformations. Specifically, accurately determined potentials of the diatomic molecules $text{H}_{text{2}}$, $text{H}_{text{2}}^{text{+}}$, HF, LiH, argon dimer, and one-dimensional dissociative coordinates in Ar-HBr, OC-HF, and $text{OC-Cl}_{text{2}}$ are investigated throughout their bound potentials. The advantages of the current formulation for accurately evaluating equilibrium dissociation energies and a fundamentally different unified perspective on nature of intermolecular interactions will be emphasized. In particular, this canonical approach has relevance to previous assertions that textit{there is no very fundamental distinction between van der Waals bonding and covalent bonding} or for that matter hydrogen and halogen bonds.
