Measurements <strong>and</strong> Properties of SolvationForces: Oscillatory <strong>forces</strong> in <strong>Non</strong>-AqueousLiquids.• (1) Inert, spherical, rigid molecules : In liquids such as CCl 4 ,benzene, toluene, <strong>and</strong> cyclohexane whose molecules areroughly spherical <strong>and</strong> fairly rigid ⇒ the periodicity of theoscillatory force is equal to the mean molecular diameter σ.• (2) Range of oscillatory <strong>forces</strong> : The peak - to - peakamplitudes of the oscillations show a roughly exponentialdecay with distance with a characteristic decay length of 1.2 to1.7 σ.
