We show that the lattice energies of ammonium, sodium, and potassium s
alts can be expressed analytically in terms of the total charges of th
e anions and their computed surface electrostatic potentials and areas
. The calculations have been carried out at the HF/G-31+G level for 1
7 singly and doubly charged anions. Predicted lattice energies are pre
sented for 10 compounds.
