Abstract

As known, small HCl–water nanoclusters display a particular dissociation behaviour, whereby at least four water molecules are required for the ionic dissociation of HCl. In this work, we examine how intermolecular interactions promote the ionic dissociation of such nanoclusters. To this end, a set of 45 HCl–water nanoclusters with up to four water molecules is introduced. Energy decomposition analysis based on absolutely localized molecular orbitals (ALMO-EDA) is employed in order to study the importance of frozen interaction, dispersion, polarization, and charge-transfer for the dissociation. The vertical ALMO-EDA scheme is applied to HCl–water clusters along a proton-transfer coordinate varying the amount of spectator water molecules. The corresponding ALMO-EDA results show a clear preference for the dissociated cluster only in the presence of four water molecules. Our analysis of adiabatic ALMO-EDA results reveals a push–pull mechanism for the destabilization of the HCl bond based on the synergy between forward and backward charge-transfer.

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.
