PACS: 05.20.-y 1. INTRODUCTION Ten years ago I had a possibility to have in the Beke- tov building in Kharkiv the seminar about the modern state of liquid theory. On this seminar was A.I. Akhiez- er. The subject was very interested for him. He put a lot of questions that was important for understanding of problems and development of theory. For the last ten years we try to expand the techniques developed in the theory of simple liquids to more complex liquids. This short review of our activity in this field I would like to devote to the unforgettable memory of A.I. Akhiezer. The pair distribution function g(r) plays central role in the modern liquid state theory. It establishes a bridge between microscopic properties modeling by interparti- cle interactions and macroscopical ones such as struc- ture, thermodynamic, dielectric, kinetic and other prop- erties. The essenceal progress in the liquid state theory for the last decades is connected with the development of the integral equation technique which is based on the analytical or numerical calculation of the pair distribu- tion function g(r) by the solution of the Ornstein- Zernike (OZ) equation within different closures: the Per- cus-Yevick (PY) approximation, the hypernetted chain (HNC) one, the mean spherical approximation (MSA) and its different modifications [1,2]. The background of such closure relations is connected with diagram analy- ses of the Mayer density expansions of the pair distribu- tion function and their applicabilities are tested usually by comparison with computer simulation results. However such inegral equation approach is efficient enough only for fluids having not so strong interparticle attraction and needs an essential improvements for a more complex fluids with strong interparticle attraction which can lead to the clustering of particles into pairs or larger groups such as chains, networks, self-assemlbing agregates etc. Due to the clustering the δ-like intraparti- cle distribution function appears and the distribution function can be divided into the intra- and interparticle parts )()()( rgrgrg erintraint += . (1) In addition, resulting from clusterization the corre- sponding running integration numbers ∫= R drrrgRn 0 2)(4)( π ρ , (2) which describes the average number of particles in the sphere of radius R surrounding one of them which is found in the center of this sphere, divides into bounded (intra) and nonbounded (inter) parts )()()( RnRnRn erintraint += , (3) where ρ is the number density of particles. Due to the saturation of bounding bondraint nRn ≤)( (4) where the number of bonds nbond is fixed. Specifically, for pairs nbond = 1, for chains nbond = 2, for network nbond = 4 etc. Since the clusterization is caused by the attraction part of interparticle interaction for the description of their contribution it is more convinient to use the activity expansions instead of density ones [3]. In particular, in order to reproduce the correct low-density limit for the fluids with strong clusterization, an infinite number of terms in the density expansion must be included, while only a few terms of the activity expansions are enough for this purpose [4,5]. Consider, for example, the series in the activity Z for the pressure P and density ρ termi- nated at n-th order terms ( ) ,...32 ,... 3 3 2 2 3 3 2 2 n n n n ZnbZbZbZP Z Z ZbZbZbZP ++++= ∂ ∂= ++++= βρ β (5) where bn is the attraction part of the n-th virial coeffi- cient, )(1 kT=β is the inverse temperature. In result of the strong interparticle attraction 1≤Z and in the limit 0→Z , ∞→nb PROBLEMS OF ATOMIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. 2001, № 6, p. 291-295. 35 .11...3 21 1 1 3 3 2 2 ρ ρ n Zb n nZb n Zb nn Z n Zb n n n n →−−−− −−= − − (6) After elimination of Z from equations (5) we obtain the equation of state which will be changed from the ide- al gas equation 1=ρβ P to the equation of ideal gas of pairs 21=ρβ P , ideal gas of trymers 31=ρβ P ,..., and in general the ideal gas of n-mers nP 1=ρβ . Moreover the summation of the infinite series in (5) leads to the possibility of the self-assembling in the sys- tem. In approximation 1 2 −= n n bb the expansions (5) re- duce to the following form ( ) , b-1 Z , 1 2 22 ZZb ZP = − = ρβ (7) which is well known in the thermodynamical theory of micellization [6]. For this reason 0ρ=Z can be identi- fied with the monomer density of amphiphilic molecules and the divergence point 21 bZ cc == ρ has the sense of the critical micelle concentration (CMC). From these considerations it might be expected that a theory which combines the activity and density expan- sions would be advantageous. The second and higher terms in the expansions (5) can be interpreted as the dimers density 2 21 Zb=ρ , the trymers density 3 32 Zb=ρ ,..., n-mers density n nn Zb=− 1ρ correspond- ly. Such interpretation suggests the possibility of the de- scription of clusterization by the introducing the multi- density formalism for this purpose. A consistent integral equation theory for this description of the clusterization in liquids has been proporsed by Wertheim [7,8]. This is based on the multi-density formalism in which the de- scription in terms of the activity and density expansions are combined. The multidensity formalism was reformulated in or- der to treat the effects of clusterization in fluids with spherically symmetric attraction and it was applied for ionic liquids [5,9-19], chain and network forming fluids [20,21] for the treatment of the percolation phenomena in the network forming fluids [22], for the adsorption of associative fluids in porous media [23], for the descrip- tion of electronic structure of associative fluids [24] etc. Short review of the development of the multi-density in- tegral equation approach in the theory of complex fluids was done in [25]. The recent progress in the application of the multi- density integral equation approach to the modelling of a different type of association and clusterization in liquids and solution will be reviewed in this report. The general scheme of this approach in the framework of the two- density formalism with the applications to electrolyte and polyelectrolyte solutions will be considered in the second section. In the third section the possibility of the multi-density formalism for the description of polymer- ization and network formation are presented. 2. TWO-DENSITY APPROACHES: THE AP- PLICATION TO IONIC SOLUTIONS The general idea of the multi-density formalism is conected with the separation of the potential of interpar- ticle interaction U(r) into the bonding and non-bonding parts )()()( rUrUrU nonbbond += , (8) where Ubond(r) is some short-range attractive interaction which includes at least the potential energy minimum of U(r). The nonbonding part Unonb(r) includes a repulsive part and long-range tail of U(r). The diagrams appearing in the activity expansions for the one-point density are classified with respect to the number of associative bonds incident with the la- belled white circle. Thus, the total number density of the system is separated into two densities, the density of nonbonding particles (monomers) ρ0 and the density of bonding particles ρ1: )1()1()1( 10 ρρρ += . (9) Similarly the pair distribution function will be split- ing into four terms )2()12(ˆ)1( )2()12(ˆ)1()2()12(ˆ)1( )2()12()1()2()12()1()12( 0110 100001 00 ρρ ρρρρ ρρρρρ g gg gg + ++ == (10) or )(ˆ)(ˆ)(ˆ)()( 11 2 100100 rgrgrgrgrg ααα +++= , (11) where ρρα 0= is the fraction of a nonbonding part of particles. In order to treat correctly the limit 0→α it is advantageous to represent g(r) in the form [26] )()()()()( 11100100 rgrgrgrgrg +++= . (12) Due to saturation of bonding the restriction only by pair formation leads to the self-consistent relation for α ∫ ∞ += 0 2 00 2 )()(41 drrrfrg asρπ αα , (13) where 1))(exp()( −−= rUrf bondas β is the Mayer func- tion for the associative interaction. At the sticky limit follows )()( RrBrf as −= δ (14) and the equations (13) can be rewritten in the form )(41 00 2 2 RgBRπ ρ α α =− , (15) where R is diameter of particles and g(R) is the contact value at r = R of the pair distribution function. The classification and topological reduction of the diagrams for pair correlation function leads to the Wertheim's modification of the OZ equation [7,8] ∫+= )()()()( 321331212 rrrdrr XhCCh ρ , (16) where the coresponding matrices have the following form: . , , ,1 , 01 11 , , 1111101001010000 1110 0100 1110 0100 ghghghgh CC CC hh hh ===−=     =    =    = XCh (17) 36 As usually, the equation (16) should be supplement- ed by closure relations.

The essential feature of this result is connected with appearance of new the screening parameter BΓ instead of the usual inverse Debye-Huckel screening length 21 2 2 4    = ∑ a aaZe ρ ε π βκ . The param- eter BΓ depends from the fraction of free ions α and the sizes of ions R and is defined by ( ) ( ) ( ) . 1 14 222 R R kRRR B B BB Γ+ Γ+ =Γ+Γ α (21) The simple analysis of equation (21) suggests the consideration of two regimes [18], namely the weak ( 1→α ) and the strong ( 0→α ) association regimes. The regime of the weak association is realized for ( )R R B B Γ+ Γ > >≥ 21 1 α and corresponds to the traditional MSA-MAL (mass ac- tion law) description of ion association [27] where equa- tion (21) reduces to ( ) ( ) ( ) α222 14 kRRR BB =Γ+Γ . (22) In this regime only the electrostatic contribution from free ions is important and the electrostatic contri- bution from ionic pair can be neglected. The regime of the strong association is realized for , 21 0 R R B B Γ+ Γ < <≤ α where equation (21) reduces to ( ) ( ) ( ).114 23 α−=Γ+Γ kRRR BB (23) In this regime only electrostatic contribution from the ion pairs is important and the contribution from the free ions can be neglected. The AMSA was applied for the description of ther- modynamic properties of ionic solutions and it was shown that it satisfactory reproduces the properties of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions of solvent of relative permittivities in range 3620 << ε [18]. For ionic solu- tions of lower permittivity the AMSA was modified by including the effect of ion trimer and tetramers [19]. The possibility of such modification of AMSA is enough promising for the description and interpretation of ther- modynamical and transport properties of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions with the enough low dielectric per- mittivity [28]. 3. THE MULTIDENSITY APPROACHES: CHAIN AND NETWORK FORMATIONS For the particles having more than one bonding state, the formation of chains, rings, networks and more com- plex agregates is possible. Such agregates can be consid- ered as a collection of monomers (segments) bonded at asymmetric attraction sites. In general for the particles with M bonding sites the density is separated into 2M densities of different bonding states. The diagram analy- sis leads to the generalized version of the OZ equation which has the form similar to (16) where in general case h, C, X are the matrices MM 22 × . In general 2M-1 self- consistent relations are needed instead of the relation (13) for the pairing case. Some simplification can be connected with the approximation that the bond creation between two particles is independent of the existence of other bonds. As a result, the fraction of the particles that have Mn ≤ bonded neighbors can be given by the bi- nomial distribution ,)1( )( nMnMn M pp n Mn x −−    == ρ ρ (24) where α−= 1p , α is the fraction of particles nonbond- ed by one fixed site. For example, for the particles with two attractive sites A and B (one is donor, the other is acceptor) the as- sumption (24) leads to the ideal chain approximation (ICA) [29] and m=1/α can be consider as the mean chain length. The analytical solution of the OZ-like equation in polymer PY (PPY) approximation for the chain forming fluids in ICA approximation for the case when bond length L = R was obtained and discussed in [29]. The generalization of this result for the case RL ≤ was con- sidered in [20]. In the ICA approximation the formation of the ring polymers is neglected. This approximation can be used to describe a system of chain polymers, polydisperse in length that is characterized by a pre- scribed mean chain length m. As example of such case the application of PPY theory for the description of the structure of liquid sulfur was discussed [30]. For the molecules with four attractive sites A, B, C and D (the two are donors and the two are acceptors) the assumption (24) leads to the ideal network approxima- tion (INA) [21,22]. The analytical solution of the OZ- like equation for the network forming fluids in network ВОПРОСЫ АТОМНОЙ НАУКИ И ТЕХНИКИ. 2000, №2. Серия: Ядерно-физические исследования (36), с. 3-6. 37 Fig. 1. The predicted from NPY-INA approximation structure factor of network forming fluids at 25.0=η for different strength of bonding Bs: Bs = 0 (dotted line); Bs = 0.1 (dashed line); Bs = 30 (solid line) PY (NPY) and INA approximation was done in [21]. The structure factor calculated for the model of associat- ing hard spheres with four symmetrical bonding sites is presented in Fig. 1. It can be display the strong changes in S(k) caused by increasing of association constant Bs. For the network forming fluid similar as for chain forming fluid [20] at small number region of k the pre-peak appears connected with the forming of relative- ly large clusters. Due to the correlation between them, the ordering in mesoscopic scale appears, so-called in- termediate-range order [31]. The number of the bonding states of molecules can principally change the thermodynamic properties of flu- ids [25]. For example, the formation of finite m-mers leads to increasing of the liquid-gas critical temperature and the decreasing of critical density. For network form- ing fluids there are a new mechanism of critically con- nected with the network formation. The multidensity integral equation theory was refor- mulated for studying connectedness properties in order to understand a peculiarity of the network forming flu- ids. The division of the potential of interparticle interac- tion into the blocked and connectedness parts )()()( * rUrUrU += + (25) leads to the similar separation also for the pair and direct correlation functions ).()()( ),()()( ** rrrrrr CCChhh +=+= ++ (26) The connectedness pair and direct correlation func- tions satisfy the OZ equation similar to (16). The mean cluster size is given by ∫ ++= )(1 rhrdS ρ (27) As the percolation transition is approached S increases and becomes infinite at the percolation threshold. The connectedness version of the OZ equation supplemented by the NPY-like closure and INA ap proximation was solved analytically [22]. In this approximation Fig. 2.

The Fig. 2 shows that liquid phase including the critical point is inside the per- colation region. 4. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic features of numerous complex liq- uids are connected with associating the molecules into a different clusters caused by strong interparticle attrac- tion. The starting point of the theory of such liquids is the combined cluster expansions for pair correlation function in which the activity expansions are used to de- scribe the contribution of the bonding part of the inter- particle interactions while the usual density expansion is used to describe of nonbonding part of interactions. The diagram analysis of these cluster expansions leads to the multi-density integral equation approach which is flexi- ble enough to treat different associative features of liq- uids such as dimerization, polymerization, network for- mation, self-assembling etc. The possibilities of the theory are tested by compar- ing with computer simulations. It is shown that the mul- tidensity approach essentially improves the integral equation theory for ionic systems. The analytical solu- tion of AMSA is useful for the description of thermody- namic and kinetic properties of nonaqueous electrolyte solutions in a wide range of ionic concentration special- ly for the solvents with enough low dielectric permittivi- ty. The multidensity integral equations are solved for polymerization and network formation cases. It is shown that structure factor for chain and network forming flu- 38 ids exhibits a peculiarity at small wave number connect- ed with the forming of relatively large molecular clus- ters. The multidensity integral equation theory is refor- mulated for studying the connectedness properties of network forming fluids. The gas-liquid critical point is predicted to exist for network case, and a region of liq- uid state is inside the percolation region. REFERENCES 1. I.R. Yukhnovsky, M.F. Holovko.
