These authors studied the RPM and focused on the issue of ion association. They tried four different association constants, first with the binding mean spherical model approximation (BIMSA) obtaining critical parameters (Tc*,ρc*) ranging from (0.0723, 0.0293) to (0.0627, 0.0471). Second, they explored a "simple interpolation scheme" combined with the BIMSA obtaining somewhat lower critical temperatures and higher densities in the range (0.0707, 0.0355) to (0.0525, 0.0640). The latter values, which are the closest to the Monte Carlo estimates, presumed just full association of ion pairs corresponding to a hard dumbbell system: see Patey and co-workers cited below. Of course, at low densities and higher temperatures this assumption must fail badly since Debye screening and ion dissociation cannot be represented at all.

By adding the attractive energy due to a central cation to these results one obtains the overall ground-state energy of the corresponding cluster (under the assumption that hard-core packing constraints are not violated, which, however, for equisized ions, should occur for n13).
