Infrared Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Calculations of OH-(H2O)n Complexes
Infrared spectra of OH-(H2O)(n) (n = 1, 2) isolated in solid Ne were measured by FT-IR spectroscopy. Complexes of OH-(H2O)n were prepared by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photolysis of water clusters, and the OH radical stretch and HOH bending vibrations of OH-(H2O) and OH-(H2O)(2) complexes were identified with the aid of quantum chemical calculations. Observation of the recombination reaction OH-H2O + H -> (H2O)(2) Under dark conditions provides undisputed evidence for our spectroscopic assignment. Quantum chemical Calculations predict the cyclic structure to be the most stable for OH-(H2O)(2) and OH-(H2O)(3). The strength of the hydrogen bond within OH-(H2O)(n) depends oil cluster size.
