Abstract
In this paper we develop a thermodynamicᅠperturbation theoryᅠfor two site associating fluids which exhibitᅠbondᅠcooperativity (system energy is non-pairwise additive). We include both steric hindrance andᅠringᅠformationᅠsuch that theᅠequation of stateᅠisᅠbondᅠangle dependent. Here, theᅠbondᅠangle is the angle separating the centers of the two association sites. As a test, newᅠMonte Carlo simulationsᅠare performed, and theᅠtheoryᅠis found to accurately predict the internal energy as well as the distribution of associated clusters as a function ofᅠbondᅠangle.
