Abstract
This study deals with an adjustment of the MM2 force field, in order t o take account of the solvent implicitly. The van der Waals function i s modified, not analytically, but in the attraction/repulsion ratio. A variable solvation parameter weights the London dispersion energies, increasing them for atoms located far from each other. The model is su ccessfully tested on two examples taken from results of IR spectroscop y for saturated aliphatic ketones.
