Comput., 2018, 14, 543-556) to evaluate a large number of dimer interaction energies. The resulting quantum mechanically derived FFs are then used in extensive molecular dynamics simulations, in order to evaluate a number of thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties of the heterocycle's gas and liquid phases. The comparison with the available experimental data is good and furnishes a validation of the presented approach, which can be confidently exploited for the design of novel and more complex materials.
