Ornstein-Zernike relation from the grand canonical distribution function

Defining the local activity by $z(r)=z\exp[-\beta \psi (r)]$ where $\beta =1/k_{B}T$, and $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant. Using those definitions the grand canonical partition function can be written as

By functionally-differentiating $\Xi$ with respect to $z(r)$, and utilizing the mathematical theorem concerning the functional derivative,

we get the following equations with respect to the density pair correlation functions.

Now, we define the direct correlation function by an inverse relation of Eq. (\ref{deltarho}),

Inserting Eqs. (\ref{deltarho}) and (\ref{deltalnz}) into the chain-rule theorem of functional derivatives,

one obtains the Ornstein-Zernike relation. Thus the Ornstein-Zernike relation is, in a sense, a differential form of the partition function.
