Bonding analysis of water clusters using quasi-atomic orbitals
Literature Information
Jorge L. Galvez Vallejo, Juan Duchimaza Heredia, Mark S. Gordon
The quasi-atomic orbital (QUAO) bonding analysis introduced by Ruedenberg and co-workers is used to develop an understanding of the hydrogen bonds in small water clusters, from the dimer through the hexamer (bag, boat, book, cyclic, prism and cage conformers). Using kinetic bond orders as a metric, it is demonstrated that as the number of waters in simple cyclic clusters increases, the hydrogen bonds strengthen, from the dimer through the cyclic hexamer. However, for the more complex hexamer isomers, the strength of the hydrogen bonds varies, depending on whether the cluster contains double acceptors and/or double donors. The QUAO analysis also reveals the three-center bonding nature of hydrogen bonds in water clusters.

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.
