Popis: A recent simulation method called reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) applicable without interaction potential is used to study the aqueous electrolyte system LiCl6H2O. Artifacts are appeared in some pair distribution functions particularly a small pick near the first coordination of gOO(r) and also near the gOCl(r) one. One try to remedy for that artifact with introducing a specified potential for the oxygen atoms and a Coulomb potential for the rest of the atomic species. An improvement in the first coordination of this function is noticed suggesting a useful test of an interaction potential model for classical methods as Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamic (MD).
