Formulation of rotational diffusion coefficient and the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relation is presented for diatomic molecular liquids by molecular dynamics simulation with two-center Lennard-Jones (2CLJ) potentials. Shear viscosityηsvand rotational diffusion coefficientDrare expressed as a function of molecular mass and number densityN/V, or moment of inertia, packing fraction, temperatureT, interaction energy, and molecular elongationl∗≡l/σ, whereNis the number of molecules included in the system volumeV,lthe bond length in the diatomic molecules, andσthe size parameter used in the LJ potentials. The packing fraction and elongation are the variables expressing molecular size and shape, respectively. These results produce directly a molecular-basis SED relation asDrηsv/T∝vm∗1/3l∗−3(N/V), wherevm∗is the dimensionless molecular volume expressed as an analytical function only of elongationl∗. That is, this SED equation depends not on the size but on the shape. This is highly contrasted with the original SED relation based on the size, which suggests overall reconsideration of the relation on a molecular scale. The shape term accounts for a paradox that more spherical molecules such as N2deviate more strongly from the original SED equation based on a spherical particle. In addition, the SED relation without the size is consistent with the Stokes-Einstein relation for both the Lennard-Jones and 2CLJ liquids expressed asDηsv/T∝ (N/V)1/3, whereDis the translational self-diffusion coefficient.
