Abstract Four different charge methods such as RESP2, AM1-BCC, CM1 and CM5 were employed to investigate the properties of acetic anhydride in a bulk phase simulation with GAFF and OPLS force field potentials. These charges were obtained from quantum mechanical calculations by fitting electrostatic potential for RESP2, AM1-BCC and Hirshfeld population for CM5 charges. The calculated density and viscosity values from molecular dynamics simulation were in good agreement with experimental values; however, GAFF with RESP2/AM1-BCC models exhibited higher error (2.1–3.07%) than OPLS with CM1/CM5, which showed the error around 0.1–0.5%.
