A combination of quantum chemical calculation and molecular dynamics simulation is applied to compute refractive indices of liquid-forming silicon oils. The densities of these species are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations based on the NPT ensemble while the molecular polarizabilities are evaluated by density functional theory. This procedure is shown to yield results well compatible with available experimental data, suggesting that it represents a robust and economic route for determining the refractive indices of liquid-forming organic complexes containing silicon.
