Most of the molecules cannot be modelled using spherical interactions. Different strategies have been used to represent the anisotropy of intermolecular interactions:
Site-site intermolecular potentials
Within this approach a given molecule is represented by several interaction sites (which can correspond to atoms, chemical groups, etc.). These sites can be Lennard-Jones centers, point charges, point dipoles, etc.
