Rather extensive computer s i m u l a t i o n s t u d i e s have been r e ­ ported f o r l i q u i d s o f linear molecules over the past few years (1). Much l e s s work has been reported f o r l i q u i d s of n o n l i n e a r mole­ c u l e s , water (2) being the only exception, although some simula­ t i o n work f o r ammonia (3), benzene (4,5) and n-butane (6) has been published r e c e n t l y . Simulations o f rigid polyatomics are complicated by the a d d i t i o n a l o r i e n t a t i o n v a r i a b l e s , and a l s o because the equations that must be solved f o r the r o t a t i o n a l motion possess a s i n g u l a r i t y at θ = 0 if the usual E u l e r angles are used to represent the o r i e n t a t i o n s . This l a t t e r difficulty was overcome by Evans and Murad (7) by using quaternions i n place of E u l e r angles. T h i s r e s u l t s i n a more efficient and accurate algorithm, and y i e l d s an order of magnitude improvement i n energy conservation. A f u r t h e r i n c r e a s e i n computing speed by a f a c t o r of three to eight may be obtained by using the m u l t i p l e time step method developed by S t r e e t t et al. (8). The a p p l i c a t i o n of t h i s method to r i g i d polyatomic molecules i s described i n another paper i n t h i s volume (9). In t h i s paper we use the quaternion method o f Evans and Murad to study methane, and report p r e l i m i n a r y r e s u l t s using a truncated and s h i f t e d s i t e - s i t e Lennard-Jones p o t e n t i a l . The m u l t i p l e time step method was not used i n t h i s work, p r i n c i p a l l y because o f storage l i m i t a t i o n s on the PDP 11/70 minicomputer used. The p o t e n t i a l model s t u d i e d i n v o l v e s f i v e Lennard-Jones s i t e s f o r each molecule, l o c a t e d on the C and H n u c l e i (C-H bond length 1.10 A). Thus the p a i r p o t e n t i a l i s the sum of 25 i n t e r ­ a c t i o n s , 1 between C...C, 8 between C...H, and 16 between H...H sites.
