The electrostatic and van der Waals components of the interaction energy of the central FG water molecule with its surroundings, as well as its first and second rotational relaxation times, are reported in The solute-solvent interaction energies are in good agreement with the FG reference. The residual differences are predominantly influenced by the choice of cutoff (rather than by the presence or absence of the correction potentials). A significant cutoff dependence is also observed for the rotational relaxation times. The values of τ OH 1 and τ OH 2 for the scaled systems converge to the FG reference when the cutoff is sufficiently large. The experimental value for τ OH 2 is 1.95 ps for water, which is in good agreement with the large-cutoff limit of the FG reference.
