Abstract For theoretical and chemical engineering applications, accurate and, if possible, simple models of molecular interactions are needed. We have recently proposed a new procedure for determining Lennard-Jones interaction parameters for fluids, forcing agreement between the values of the pressure obtained from empirical equations of state and those obtained from computer simulations. In this work we obtain new intermolecular Lennard-Jones parameters for non-polar molecules, taking into account their deviation from the spherical shape by means of an acentric factor. Our procedure could help to connect the microscopic and macroscopic worlds and it will be progressively implemented in order to obtain a better representation of other substances and mixtures of chemical interest.
