Towards an anisotropic bead-spring model for ribbonlike polymers: Monte Carlo simulations of liquid benzene

A Monte Carlo study was performed for liquid benzene in the NVT ensemble. The density and structure of liquid benzene were investigated at room temperature through the calculation of the carbon-carbon and molecular center-center radial distribution functions. The structure of the liquid phase was investigated by calculating the center of mass-center of mass, the carbon-carbon radial distribution functions and the angular-radial distribution function.
