Solvation pressure in chloroform.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of chloroform vapor and liquid at normal temperature and pressure and liquid under hydrostatic pressure are presented, giving bond lengths and vibrational frequencies as functions of pressure. The change in bond lengths between vapor and liquid at normal temperature and pressure is consistent with a pressure equivalent to the cohesive energy density (CED) of ...
