It is the balance of these interactions that determines the structure of the material. It is worth noting that correcting the understimation of the Cl -LAOH interaction by FF1 does not imply a substantial increase of its population, and remains a second level interaction that does not govern the overall structure. Given that Cl -ChOH is the strongest interaction taking place between the ions, it tunes the internal cohesion of the HBA, the ChCl. This internal cohesion is overestimated by FF1 and FF2 due to the overpolarization; when this is corrected, the interaction between the chlorine and LA is improved, therefore ameliorating the mixing between ChCl and LA. Evidently, this has important implications for the overall structure of the material that are reflected in distinct behaviours of the clustering and collapse degrees in each system.
