A new force field for 1-propanol, in the united and all atom models, has been obtained by combining two different empirical methodologies. The first was developed by scaling atom charges and Lennard-Jones parameters to fit the dielectric constant, surface tension, and density; this methodology is named three steps systematic parameterization procedure (3SSPP), as reported by Pérez de la Luz et al. (J Chem Theory Comput 14:5949–5958, 2018). The second methodology consists of moving these parameters and together with the bond distance to obtain the liquid-vapor phase diagram of the CO2 molecule as discussed by Harris and Yung (J Phys Chem 99:12021–12024, 1995). The last methodology is used to obtain the self-diffusion coefficient, which was not consider in the 3SSPP. The 3SSPP/bond methodology is the 3SSPP plus the bond distance scaling. With this new methodology, the experimental density, dielectric constant, surface tension, and self-diffusion coefficient at ambient temperature could be achieved. Furthermore, we show the temperature dependence of the aforementioned properties. The static structure factors are in accordance with the experimental spectrum. Solubility is increased to the experimental value for the united atom (UA) model after applying this methodology and for all atom (AA) scheme, the experimental solubility value is maintained.
