Current Studies

Recent experimental observations of (H2O)3+, (H2O)3+Ar, H+(H2O)3, and H+(H2O)3Ar clusters in the region 1400-3800 cm-1 [1][2][3] show that the OH stretching vibration has distinct characteristics. Multidimensional normal mode calculations were carried out for OH stretching vibrations in the 1200-4000 cm-1 photon energy range. The potential energy and dipole surfaces were evaluated by first-principles methods. By comparing the calculated frequencies and intensity of OH stretching vibration with experimental studies, we found that the assignments of OH strecthing of H3O+ moiety and free OH strectching vibration have reasonable agreements with experimental data.
