Popis: Using the framework of Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory, a new polyatomic density functional theory is developed to account for the intermolecular association of cyclic molecules in interfacial systems. To test the theory, Monte Carlo simulations in the canonical ensemble were performed for the specific case of an associating triatomic ring with one association site next to a hard wall. The theory and simulation results were found to be in good agreement.
