The structure and dynamics of a diluted acetonitrile solution of the squarate dianion, C4O42−, have been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Detailed comparison is provided with previous simulations of C4O42− in aqueous solution. The first solvation shell around the C4O42− ion is made of 16.7 acetonitrile molecules on average, which are much less tightly bonded to the anion than water molecules in the case of aqueous solution. Probability density maps give a detailed picture of the distribution of nearest-neighbour acetonitrile molecules around the C4O42− ion. Time correlation functions indicate that rattling and librational motions of the C4O42− species in cages formed by acetonitrile molecules is not too pronounced as observed in aqueous solution, proper to the less defined solvation shell in acetonitrile solution. The differences between the MD results on acetonitrile and aqueous solutions are fully consistent with the physical picture that emerged from previous experimental works on Raman bandshape analysis of oxocarbon ions in these solvents.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
