Alkali - metal ion in rare gas clusters : global minima 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Structural optimization for heteronuclear clusters consisting of one alkali-metal ion and of up to 79 neutral rare gas atoms has been carried out. The basin-hopping Monte Carlo minimization method of Wales and Doye is used. Rare gas atoms interact with the Lennard–Jones potential, whereas the interaction between a neutral atom and an ion impurity is given by the Mason–Schamp potential. Starting from eight rare gas atoms the alkali-metal ion is always inside a cluster.

Pure Metal and Metal-doped Rare-gas Clusters Grown in a Pulsed Arc Cluster Ion Source
The performance of a new pulsed arc cluster ion source (PACIS) is demonstrated for pure metal cluster ions and anions as well as mixed metal-rare-gas clusters. Pure metal clusters like W$ exhibit intensity distributions similar to those from laser vaporization sources. The ion current of the PACIS is comparable to that of a laser vaporization source. For metal-doped argon cluster ions, a single...
متن کاملAlkali metal ion select ability of di-propoxy- p-tert-butyl-Calix[4]arene, synthesized in acetonitrile
Synthesis and cation selectivity of 25, 27, dipropoxy-26, 28, Di-propoxy 5, 11, 17, 23, ptert-butyl Calix[4]arene are studied in acetonitrile solution. The stability constants of differentcomplexes of Calixarene (as a ligand) with alkali metal cations are determined at 25 °C by usingspectrophotometric technique.On the basis of calculations, complexation of Calixarene with Cs+and Li+ are more fa...
متن کاملThe i-TTM model for ab initio-based ion-water interaction potentials. II. Alkali metal ion-water potential energy functions.
A new set of i-TTM potential energy functions describing the interactions between alkali metal ions and water molecules is reported. Following our previous study on halide ion-water interactions [J. Phys. Chem. B, 2016, 120, 1822], the new i-TTM potentials are derived from fits to CCSD(T) reference energies and, by construction, are compatible with the MB-pol many-body potential, which has been...
متن کاملFragmentation reactions in the mass spectrometry analysis of neutral oligosaccharides.
A method is described to obtain multicollision dissociation threshold (MCDT) values. These values provide relative reaction thresholds for dissociation in the three major gas-phase fragmentation reactions of oligosaccharides complexed to alkali metal ions. The quasimolecular ions are produced using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry. The MCDTs for al...
متن کاملInfrared spectroscopy of cationized arginine in the gas phase: direct evidence for the transition from nonzwitterionic to zwitterionic structure.
The gas-phase structures of protonated and alkali metal cationized arginine (Arg) and arginine methyl ester (ArgOMe) are investigated with infrared spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Infrared spectra, measured in the hydrogen-stretch region, provide compelling evidence that arginine changes from its nonzwitterionic to zwitterionic form with increasing metal ion size, with the transition i...
