MCMD has built-in molecular models for easy simulations of different gases/liquids.

All of the models can be found in the source code.

They're used just like this (in your input file):
sorbate_name h2_buch

Note, you don't have to use this command. If the input file already has molecules with parameters, MCMD will just load those as the replicable molecules. They are called "prototypes" in the code.

For multi-sorbate simulation:
sorbate_name h2_bss co2_phast ch4_9site water
sorbate_fugacities 0.7 0.3 1.0 2.5
