In the present work, phase diagrams in (pressure, temperature) space were calculated for water, oxygen, propane and lithium, employing van der Waals (vdW) equations of state, similar to an approach previously employed for argon. These calculations allowed the triple point temperatures to be obtained. The experimentally-determined triple point pressure values (p3) normalized by the critical point pressure (pc) (that is, p3/pc) are known to exhibit a significant correlation with the normalized triple point temperature (T3/Tc), and the present results reproduce this correlation qualitatively. This work also demonstrated that the low-density solid, high-density solid, liquid and gas-phases of water produce a phase diagram similar to that of the ice-water system.

An existing van der Waals (vdW) equation of state (EOS) based on hard-sphere repulsions during intermolecular interactions was extended to a Lennard-Jones (LJ) system. Specifically, an EOS for a perfect solid and liquid v5 (Y. Kataoka and Y. Yamada, J. Comput. Chem. Jpn.,12, 181–189 (2013)) was simplified to satisfy the Rigby conditions for a generalized vdW EOS. The phase diagram of argon was reproduced in pressure-temperature space using this extended EOS, and a phase diagram in temperature-density space was also generated and found to be qualitatively consistent with the LJ system.

ConfDatMaker software was developed for the purpose of generating the conformers of metal complexes. The software builds structures by symmetry operation of the inputted ligand coordinates, on the basis of the prepared enumeration results. A series of generated structures are useful for the conformational analysis.
