The structure, stability, and properties of the hydrated clusters of calcium hydroxide, Ca ( OH )2( H 2 O )n, n = 1–6, were investigated using density functional and ab initio quantum chemical methods. The results show that six water molecules are needed to result in the complete dissociation of Ca ( OH )2. The stable and ionic conformer of Ca ( OH )2( H 2 O )6 has C 3 symmetry. Its surprising stability and high IR activity render hydrated clusters of Ca ( OH )2 potentially significant in the nucleation of noctilucent clouds in the mesosphere. Trends in the interaction energies (ΔEe) of the complexes show that water molecules in the first shell of Ca 2+ are highly stable, further alluding to the role of hydrated Ca ( OH )2 in aerosol formation.

AbstractThe spectroscopic features of protonated water species in dilute acid solutions have been long sought after for understanding the microscopic behavior of the proton in water with gas-phase water clusters H+(H2O)n extensively studied as bottom-up model systems. We present a new protocol for the calculation of the infrared (IR) spectra of complex systems, which combines the fragment-based Coupled Cluster method and anharmonic vibrational quasi-degenerate perturbation theory, and demonstrate its accuracy towards the complete and accurate assignment of the IR spectrum of the H+(H2O)21 cluster. The site-specific IR spectral signatures reveal two distinct structures for the internal and surface four-coordinated water molecules, which are ice-like and liquid-like, respectively. The effect of inter-molecular interaction between water molecules is addressed, and the vibrational resonance is found between the O-H stretching fundamental and the bending overtone of the nearest neighboring water molecule. The revelation of the spectral signature of the excess proton offers deeper insight into the nature of charge accommodation in the extended hydrogen-bonding network underpinning this aqueous cluster.

The CoII cation in poly[[aqua(μ-benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato-κ3 O 1,O 2:O 1)(μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2 N:N′)cobalt(II)] trihydrate], {[Co(C8H4O4)(C10H8N2)(H2O)]·3H2O} n , is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of two 4,4′-bipyridine ligands, three O atoms from phthalate anions and a fourth O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The packing consists of planes of coordination polymers linked by hydrogen bonds mediated by three solvent water molecules; the linkage is achieved by the water molecules forming intricate oligomeric clusters which also involve the O atoms of the phthalate ligands.
