The Lattice Energy of Solid CO2

Abstract
It is possible to account for the measured sublimation heat of solid CO2 by calculating the attraction energy according to London's theory of van der Waals forces; or, when the second approximation of the attractive forces is included, by considering also the electrostatic energy due to the dipole moments and the repulsive energy, the latter being deduced from the equilibrium condition. For the calculation of the electrostatic energy the picture of point charges with definite distances seems preferable to that of short dipoles.
