Towards complete assignment of the infrared spectrum of the protonated water cluster H+(H2O)21

ABSTRACT: The 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. Protonated water species have been the subject of numerous experimental and computational studies. Here the authors provide a nearly complete assignment of the experimental IR spectrum of the H+(H2O)21 water cluster based on high-level wavefunction theory and anharmonic vibrational quasi-degenerate perturbation theory.

Tagging effects on the mid-infrared spectrum of microsolvated protonated methane.

Project description:Although bare protonated methane is by now essentially understood at the level of intramolecular large-amplitude motion, scrambling dynamics and broadband vibrational spectra, the microsolvated species still offer plenty of challenges. One aspect is the effect of the attached solvent molecules on the infrared absorption spectra of microsolvated CH5+ complexes compared to the bare parent molecule. In this study we analyze, based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, protonated methane molecules that have been microsolvated with up to three hydrogen molecules, i.e. CH5+·(H2) n . In particular, upon introducing a novel multi-channel maximum entropy methodology described herein, we are able to decompose the infrared spectra of these weakly-bound complexes in the frequency window from 1000 to 4500 cm-1 into additive single mode contributions. Detailed comparisons to the bare CH5+ parent reveal that these perturbed modes encode distinct features that depend on the exact microsolvation pattern. Beyond the specific case, such understanding is relevant to assess tagging artifacts in vibrational spectra of parent molecules based on messenger predissociation action spectroscopy.

Nuclear Motion Is Classical: Spectrum of a Magic Protonated Water Cluster.

Project description:The assumption that nuclear motion is classical explains many phenomena. The problems of Schrödinger's cat and the EPR paradoxon do not exist in a perfectly deterministic theory. All it needs is to describe nuclear motion classically right from the beginning. To establish this simple idea, it must be tested for as many examples as possible. In the present paper, we use ab initio molecular dynamics to investigate the infrared spectrum of a 'magic' protonated water cluster H3O+(H2O)20 which exhibits some features that were believed to afford a quantum treatment of nuclear motion. The role of the temperature in contrast to a quantum mechanical description is discussed.

Three new acid M+ arsenates and phosphates with multiply protonated As/PO4 groups.

Project description:The crystal structures of caesium dihydrogen arsenate(V) bis[trihydrogen arsenate(V)], Cs(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4)2, ammonium dihydrogen arsenate(V) trihydrogen arsenate(V), NH4(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4), and dilithium bis(dihydrogen phosphate), Li2(H2PO4)2, were solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. NH4(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4), which was hydrothermally synthesized (T = 493 K), is homeotypic with Rb(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4), while Cs(H2AsO4)(H3AsO4)2 crystallizes in a novel structure type and Li2(H2PO4)2 represents a new polymorph of this composition. The Cs and Li compounds grew at room temperature from highly acidic aqueous solutions. Li2(H2PO4)2 forms a three-dimensional (3D) framework of PO4 tetrahedra sharing corners with Li2O6 dimers built of edge-sharing LiO4 groups, which is reinforced by hydrogen bonds. The two arsenate compounds are characterized by a 3D network of AsO4 groups that are connected solely via multiple strong hydrogen bonds. A statistical evaluation of the As-O bond lengths in singly, doubly and triply protonated AsO4 groups gave average values of 1.70 (2) Å for 199 As-OH bonds, 1.728 (19) Å for As-OH bonds in HAsO4 groups, 1.714 (12) Å for As-OH bonds in H2AsO4 groups and 1.694 (16) Å for As-OH bonds in H3AsO4 groups, and a grand mean value of 1.667 (18) Å for As-O bonds to nonprotonated O atoms.

Getting Ready for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction: The Infrared Spectrum of Hydrated Aluminum Hydride-Hydroxide HAlOH+ (H2 O)n-1 , n=9-14.

Project description:Hydrated singly charged aluminum ions eliminate molecular hydrogen in a size regime from 11 to 24 water molecules. Here we probe the structure of HAlOH+ (H2 O)n-1 , n=9-14, by infrared multiple photon spectroscopy in the region of 1400-2250 cm-1 . Based on quantum chemical calculations, we assign the features at 1940 cm-1 and 1850 cm-1 to the Al-H stretch in five- and six-coordinate aluminum(III) complexes, respectively. Hydrogen bonding towards the hydride is observed, starting at n=12. The frequency of the Al-H stretch is very sensitive to the structure of the hydrogen bonding network, and the large number of isomers leads to significant broadening and red-shifting of the absorption of the hydrogen-bonded Al-H stretch. The hydride can even act as a double hydrogen bond acceptor, shifting the Al-H stretch to frequencies below those of the water bending mode. The onset of hydrogen bonding and disappearance of the free Al-H stretch coincides with the onset of hydrogen evolution.

Computational Assignment of Tantalum-related Strong Absorption Peaks in the Infrared Spectrum of Potassium Heptafluorotantalate.

Project description:Tantalum (Ta) is a valuable and rare metal that is extensively used in the production of implant materials and high-performance capacitors. However, a convenient and effective method for the separation of Ta from other compounds has yet to be developed. On the basis of first-principle density functional theory (DFT), we simulated the vibrational spectrum of potassium heptafluorotantalate (K2TaF7). By performing a dynamics analysis of vibrational modes, we assigned peaks in infrared (IR) absorption and Raman scattering spectra to their corresponding vibrations. We focused on the strong IR absorption peaks of Ta-related vibrational modes in K2TaF7 and concluded that three observed IR absorption peaks, at 285, 315, and 530 cm-1, are good candidates. Provided with high power radiation at these three frequencies (at about 8.55, 9.45, and 15.9 THz), the good efficiency of photon-phonon resonance absorption will facilitate Ta separation from a compound.

Non-adiabatic effects in the H3+ spectrum.

Project description:The effect of non-adiabatic coupling on the computed rovibrational energy levels amounts to about 2 cm-1 for H3+ and must be included in high-accuracy calculations. Different strategies to obtain the corresponding energy shifts are reviewed in the article. A promising way is to introduce effective vibrational reduced masses that depend on the nuclear configuration. A new empirical method that uses the stockholder atoms-in-molecules approach to this effect is presented and applied to H3+. Furthermore, a highly accurate potential energy surface for the D3+ isotopologue, which includes relativistic and leading quantum electrodynamic terms, is constructed and used to analyse the observed rovibrational frequencies for this molecule. Accurate band origins are obtained that improve existing data. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Advances in hydrogen molecular ions: H3+, H5+ and beyond'.

A mixed-valence [CoII4CoIII2] cluster with defect disk-shaped topology.

Project description:The employment of the new Schiff base ligand 2-[(4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)methyl]phenol (H2L) bearing O2N donors for the preparation of a novel Co6 cluster is reported. The hexanuclear cobalt complex, namely, di-μ2-acetatotetrakis{μ2-2-[(4-chloro-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)methyl]phenolato}tetra-μ3-methanolato-tetracobalt(II)dicobalt(III), [CoII4CoIII2(C14H10ClNO2)4(CH3COO)2(CH3O)4], was obtained using Co(CH3COO)2·4H2O and H2L as starting materials in MeOH under solvothermal conditions. The six metal ions are linked together by the μ3-O atoms of four deprotonated MeOH molecules, two CH3COO- units and six phenolate O atoms of four L2- ligands to form a defect disk-shaped topology. DC magnetic susceptibility investigations revealed the existence of antiferromagnetic interactions in the Co6 cluster.

Near-Infrared Spectrum of the First Excited State of Au2.

Project description:Au2 + is a simple but crucial model system for understanding the diverse catalytic activity of gold. While the Au2 + ground state (X2 Σg + ) is understood reasonably well from mass spectrometry and computations, no spectroscopic information is available for its first excited state (A2 Σu + ). Herein, we present the vibrationally resolved electronic spectrum of this state for cold Ar-tagged Au2 + cations. This exceptionally low-lying and well isolated A2 Σ(u) + ←X2 Σ(g) + transition occurs in the near-infrared range. The observed band origin (5738 cm-1 , 1742.9 nm, 0.711 eV) and harmonic Au-Au and Au-Ar stretch frequencies (201 and 133 cm-1 ) agree surprisingly well with those predicted by standard time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The linearly bonded Ar tag has little impact on either the geometric or electronic structure of Au2 + , because the Au2 + ⋅⋅⋅Ar bond (∼0.4 eV) is much weaker than the Au-Au bond (∼2 eV). As a result of 6 s←5d excitation of an electron from the antibonding σu * orbital (HOMO-1) into the bonding σg orbital (SOMO), the Au-Au bond contracts substantially (by 0.1 Å).

Structures of Cu n+ ( n = 3-10) Clusters Obtained by Infrared Action Spectroscopy.

Project description:Coinage metal clusters are of great importance for a wide range of scientific fields, ranging from microscopy to catalysis. Despite their clear fundamental and technological importance, the experimental structural determination of copper clusters has attracted little attention. We fill this gap by elucidating the structure of cationic copper clusters through infrared (IR) photodissociation spectroscopy of Cu n+-Ar m complexes. Structures of Cu n+ ( n = 3-10) are unambiguously assigned based on the comparison of experimental IR spectra in the 70-280 cm-1 spectral range with spectra calculated using density functional theory. Whereas Cu3+ and Cu4+ are planar, starting from n = 5, Cu n+ clusters adopt 3D structures. Each successive cluster size is composed of its predecessor with a single atom adsorbed onto the face, giving evidence of a stepwise growth.

Reactions of [Fe6C(CO)14(S)]2-: Cluster Growth, Redox, Sulfiding.

Project description:Redox reactions, substitutions, and metalations are reported for the iron carbido sulfide [Fe6C(CO)14(S)]2- ([1]2-). Dianion [1]2- oxidized to [Fe6C(CO)16(S)]0 ([2]0) upon treatment with of [Fe(C5H5)2]BF4 or HBF4 (H2 formation) under an atmosphere of CO. Reaction of [2]0 with tBuNC gave [Fe6C(S)(CO)13(tBuNC)5], consisting of Fe5C(CO)13 and [Fe(tBuNC)5]2+ subunits linked by a μ3-S2-. The Fe7CS cluster [Fe7C(CO)17(S)]2- formed upon treatment of (Ph4P)2[1] with Fe(benzylideneacetone)(CO)3. The Fe7 species is an edge-fused cluster with [Fe6C(CO)10(μ-CO)4] and Fe(CO)3 subunits joined by μ3-S and two Fe-Fe bonds. The analogous reaction using Mo(CO)4(norbornadiene) gave [MoFe6C(CO)18(S)]2-. In this cluster, the Mo center is located in the octahedral subunit. Treatment of [1]2- with SO2 afforded [Fe6C(S)(SO2)(CO)13]2-. This cluster features an Fe6C core decorated with μ3-S and μ2-SO2 ligands. These experiments were undertaken in an effort to connect organometallic clusters to FeMoco.
