Abstract:
We have performed molecular dynamics calculations on CI-H2On and F-H2On n2,3,...15 clusters. The calculations show that the F- ion is solvated in these clusters, while CI- remains attached to the water in the clusters. We also obtained the minimum energy structures for the CI-H2On and F-H2On n6,7,8 clusters. From the comparison of these structures with the dynamical structures we conclude that the solvation of F- ion is due to the entropy effect.
