Microsolvation is of paramount importance in various phenomena of physical chemistry and
biological systems. Structural diversity of chemical clusters in different environmental …

Studying metal ion solvation, especially hydration, in the gas phase has developed into a
field that is dominated by a tight interaction between experiment and theory. Since the …

We model temperature-dependent blackbody infrared radiative dissociation (BIRD) rate
coefficients of Ag+ (H2O) n, n= 4–6, a system with loosely bound water molecules. We …

Solvation of salts in water is a fundamental physical chemical process, but the underlying
mechanism remains unclear. We investigated the contact ion pair (CIP) to solvent-separated …

The potential energy surfaces of the HCl (H2O) n (n is the number of water molecules)
clusters are systematically explored using density functional theory and high‐level ab initio …

In order to understand the microsolvation of LiI and CsI in water and provide information
about the dependence of solvation processes on different ions, we investigated the LiI (H2O) …

The association process of NaCl in aqueous solution was studied by a combination of
quantum mechanical calculations on NaCl (H2O) n (n= 1–6) clusters and quantum …

The hydrated electron is one of the most fundamental nucleophiles in aqueous solution, yet
it is a transient species in liquid water, making it challenging to study. The solvation …

How salts affect water structure is an important topic in many research fields. Salt–water
clusters can be used as model systems to extract interaction information that is difficult to …

To explore how the ion-pair in a single salt molecule evolves with the addition of water,
infrared (IR) spectra of complexes composed of NaCl and multiple water molecules have …
