abstract

in this study, the interaction between no2+ cation and hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at mp2/aug-cc-pvtz and qcisd/aug-cc-pvtz computational levels. the first and second solvation shells were obtained while n atom of no2+ interacts with five and two he atoms, respectively. stabilization energies of the studied complexes including basis set superposition errors (bsse) and zero-point energy (zpe) corrections at mp2/aug-cc-pvtz level are in the range of 1.5-7.6 kj mol-1. energy decomposition analysis (eda) shows that polarization effects are the main source of the attraction energy in these complexes. the second most important attraction term is dispersion energy.

Microsolvation of NO2+ in Helium: An Ab Initio Study on NO2+-Hen Clusters (n ≤ 7)

      In this study, the interaction between NO2+ cation and Hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and QCISD/aug-cc-pVTZ computational levels. The first and second solvation shells were obtained while N atom of NO2+ interacts with five and two He atoms, respectively. Stabilizat...

Helium nanodroplet isolation spectroscopy and ab initio calculations of HO3-(O2)n clusters.

HO3-(O2)n clusters are formed by the sequential addition of the hydroxyl radical and O2 molecules to superfluid helium nanodroplets. IR laser spectroscopy in the fundamental OH stretching region reveals the presence of several bands assigned to species as large as n=4. Detailed ab initio calculations are carried out for multiple isomers of cis- and trans-HO3-O2, corresponding to either hydrogen...

Communication: Electron impact ionization of binary H2O∕X clusters in helium nanodroplets: an ab initio perspective.

In a recent experiment (H(2)O)(n)∕X(m) binary clusters (where X = Ar, N(2), CO, CO(2), and several other molecules) were formed in superfluid helium nanodroplets and investigated by electron impact mass spectrometry [Liu et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 13, 13920 (2011)]. The addition of dopant X was found to affect the branching ratio between H(3)O(+)(H(2)O)(n) and (H(2)O)(+)(n+2) formation. Sp...

H·(H2O)n clusters: microsolvation of the hydrogen atom via molecular ab initio gradient embedded genetic algorithm (GEGA).

A new version of the ab initio gradient embedded genetic algorithm (GEGA) program for finding the global minima on the potential energy surface (PES) of mixed clusters formed by molecules and atoms is reported. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated on the neutral H·(H(2)O)(n) (n = 1-4) clusters, that is, a radical H atom solvated in 1-4 water molecules. These clusters are of a fundam...

Thermal Rate Constants of the NO2 Fission Reaction of Gas Phase r-HMX: A Direct ab Initio Dynamics Study

The NO2 fission reaction of gas phase R-HMX has been studied using a direct ab initio method within the framework of microcanonical variational transition state theory (μVT). The potential energy calculations were calculated using the hybrid nonlocal B3LYP density functional theory with the cc-pVDZ basis set. The calculated results show that the potential energy of breaking the axial NO2 groups...
