A common phenomenon resulting from the interaction of atoms is the formation of
molecules, under certain conditions. This well-known type of interaction is termed covalent …

▪ Abstract This review provides a historical context for our understanding of the hydration
shell surrounding halide ions and illustrates how the cluster systems can be used, in …

The global optimization of molecular clusters is an important topic encountered in many
fields of chemistry. In our previous work (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015, 17, 24173), we …

Vibrational spectroscopy measurements are described for mass-selected metal cation-
molecular complexes using the technique of infrared resonance-enhanced …

Recent developments have made it possible to produce a variety of novel ionic molecular
species and to study their spectroscopy. In this article, new ion production schemes and/or …

Apparent large deviations of water solutions from ideal behavior are eliminated by taking
account of the number of water molecules binding to solute sufficiently strongly (13.0±1.5 …

Solvated electrons are a fundamental species to many areas of physical science. In addition
to playing a key role in aqueous phase chemistry, 1 they have been implicated in a wide …

Experimental studies of ion–water clusters have provided insights into the microscopic
aspects of hydration phenomena. One common view is that extending those experimental …

Gas-phase studies concerning interactions between neutral or charged species in molecular
clusters allow for the investigation of the forces which govern structures and reaction …

The structure and dynamics of Cl−(H 2 O) 6 has been studied by ab initio molecular
dynamics using the Car–Parrinello approach, and compared to results of ab initio quantum …
