General correlations between van der Waals interaction potential parameters and polarizabilities of the interacting neutral-neutral partners of any nature are presented and discussed. To ensure the full applicability of the correlations, an evaluation of the long-range interaction constants is performed in terms of the Slater-Kirkwood approximation whose numerical coefficients, having the meaning of effective electron numbers, are estimated interpolating the values deduced by theoretical considerations. The values of the long-range constants so obtained are compared satisfactorily with the available experimental ones. The correlations are tested successfully over practically all systems characterized experimentally. Their use to predict the parameters of unknown systems is suggested. © 1991 American Institute of Physics.
