in 1951, is a non-spherical generalisation of the [[Lennard-Jones model]]. It is given by 


:<math>\Phi_{12}(\rho)=\Phi_0 \left[\frac{m}{n-m}\left(\frac{\rho_{0}}{\rho}\right)^n-\frac{n}{n-m}\left(\frac{\rho_{0}}{\rho}\right)^m\right], ~~~ n>m>3.</math>


where <math>\Phi_{12}</math> is the [[intermolecular pair potential]], and <math>\rho</math> is the [[Source code for the minimum distance between two rods | shortest distance between molecule cores]].
