Abstract

A stochastic exploration of the quantum conformational space for the (H2O)nLi+, n = 3, 4, 5 complexes produced 32 molecular clusters at the B3LYP/6–311++G** and MP2/6–311++G** levels. The first solvation shell is predicted to comprise a maximum of 4 water molecules. Energy decomposition analyses were performed to determine the relationship between the geometrical features of the complexes and the types of interactions responsible for their stabilization. Our findings reveal that electrostatic interactions are major players determining the structures and relative stabilities of the clusters. The formal charge on the Li atom leads to two distinct types of hydrogen bonds, scattered in a wide range of distances (1.61–2.32 Å), in many cases affording H-bonds that are considerably larger and considerably shorter than those in pure water clusters (typically ∼1.97 Å).

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.
