Description

A Monte Carlo simulation of the liquid-liquid benzene-water interface has been performed. Molecular pair potentials obtained from quantum mechanical calculations have been used. The two-phase system is confined to a rectangular boxed with edge lengths of 25 x 25 x 57 A. The phases remain separated after 70,000 configurations/molecule. The intrinsic interface is almost molecularly sharp, but the interfacial region is broadened by capillary waves. Water molecules in the interfacial region have a preferential orientation and the hydrogen bond network is affected
