Abstract

The function [A. Ben-Nairn, J. Chem. Phys. 54, 1387, 3696 (1971)] y(R)=exp[-δAHI(R)], playing a central role in the theory of solute-solute interaction, is shown to be a monotonous decreasing function of R at short distances. A formal proof is given for two hard cube solutes approaching along a particular line. Further evidence, based on the Percus-Yevick equations for a two-dimensional system of spherical solutes, is provided.
