I am using SPC/E water model. Regarding isopropanol, these are the partial
charges:
 "H1"    0.038594
 "C1"    0.147250
 "HC1"  0.038591
 "C2"    -0.106023
 "HC2"  0.038591
 "HC3"  0.038591
 "HA1"  0.038591
 "C3"    -0.106023
 "HA2"   0.038591
 "HA3"   0.038591
 "O1"    -0.579340
 "HO1"  0.373996
And the VdW radii and epsilon:
  HC          1.3770  0.0150
  OH          1.7210  0.2104
  CT          1.9080   0.1094
  HO          0.0          0.0
