TL;DR: In this paper, association biased Monte Carlo (ABMC) is proposed to simulate associating fluids with long-ranged center-to-center interactions. But it is not suitable for long-range interactions.

Abstract: We present association biased Monte Carlo (ABMC), a Monte Carlo method, which is ergodic, microscopically reversible, and specifically designed to simulate associating fluids with long‐ranged center‐to‐center interactions. The canonical ensemble (NVT) algorithm biases sampling to regions of configuration space where particle association is likely to occur, and provides efficient simulation of associating fluids over a broad range of densities. The usual canonical ensemble (NVT) thermodynamic variables (ensemble average internal energy and pressure), as well as the pair distribution functions are presented. The distributions of associated clusters are presented at a selection of state points and are compared with predictions of thermodynamic perturbation theory for the model system. We also present the simulation results for a symmetric, binary associating fluid with a single site on each particle.

Self-assembly of patchy particles into polymer chains: a parameter-free comparison between Wertheim theory and Monte Carlo simulation.
TL;DR: The authors numerically study a simple fluid composed of particles having a hard-core repulsion, complemented by two short-ranged attractive spots at the particle poles, which provides a simple model for equilibrium polymerization of linear chains and find that predictions of the Wertheim theory accord remarkably well with the simulation results.

Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Monte Carlo integration over configuration space is used to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional rigid-sphere system with a set of interacting individual molecules, and the results are compared to free volume equations of state and a four-term virial coefficient expansion.
Fluids with highly directional attractive forces. I. Statistical thermodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a new formulation of statistical thermodynamics is derived for classical fluids of molecules that tend to associate into dimers and possibly highers-mers due to highly directional attraction, and a breakup of the pair potential into repulsive and highly directionally attractive parts is introduced into the expansion of the logarithm of the grand partition function in fugacity graphs.

TL;DR: In this article, two distinct integral equations for the pair correlation were derived, one treating both parts of the interaction approximately; the other one employing the repulsive reference system used in perturbation theory.
