The potential energy function of carbon tetrafluoride has been determined via the inversion of
reduced viscosity collision integrals at corresponding states and zero pressure and fitted to obtain
an analytical potential form. A comparison of the potential with the recently determined potential
by means of ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the MP2/6-31+G(3d) level of theory has
been included. The interaction potential energy from the inversion procedure reproduces, within
experimental error, the viscosity, self-diffusion coefficient, and second virial coefficient of carbon
tetrafluoride over a wide temperature range. We have also derived very accurate equations for
the viscosity, self-diffusion coefficient, and second virial coefficient of carbon tetrafluoride in a
more extended temperature range than those of previous ones.
