Reliable isotropic dipole properties and dispersion energy coefficients for CCl4

Dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSD) have been constructed for ground state CCl4 molecule, by using constrained least-squares methods, experimental and mixture rule dipole oscillator strength data, and refractive index measurements. A recommended isotropic DOSD is used to evaluate a wide variety of dipole oscillator strength sums S-K, logarithmic dipole sums L-K and mean excitation energies I-K. Pseudo-DOSDs have been constructed for CCl4 molecule and these are used to calculate isotropic dipole-dipole dispersion energy coefficients C-6 for the interaction of CCl4 with itself and with 45 other species, and the triple-dipole dispersion energy coefficients C-9 for (CCl4)(3).
