Abstract
The present study delves into the question of how the strength of a hydrogen bond (HB) common to two or more cyclic HB networks is influenced by the cooperativity contributions (CCs) of these cycles. We employ the molecular tailoring approach-based method to calculate the cyclic CCs in water clusters, Wn (n = 6-20). The energy of an HB in a Wn cluster is estimated by adding the total cyclic CC to its counterpart in the respective dimer. The resulting HB energies closely match their full cluster counterparts, typically within 1.0 kcal mol-1, with substantial CCs of these cyclic networks.

Abstract
QTAIM and source function analysis were used to explore the non-covalent bonding in twelve different water clusters (H2O)n obtained by considering n = 2–7 and various geometrical arrangements. A total of seventy-seven O−H⋯O hydrogen bonds (HBs) were identified in the systems under consideration, and the examination of the electron density at the bond critical point (BCP) of these HBs revealed the existence of a great diversity of O−H⋯O interactions. Furthermore, the analysis of quantities, such as |V(r)|/G(r) and H(r), allowed a further description of the nature of analogous O−H⋯O interactions within each cluster. In the case of 2-D cyclic clusters, the HBs are nearly equivalent between them. However, significant differences among the O−H⋯O interactions were observed in 3-D clusters. The assessment of the source function (SF) confirmed these findings. Finally, the ability of SF to decompose the electron density (ρ) into atomic contributions allowed the evaluation of the localized or delocalized character of these contributions to ρ at the BCP associated to the different HBs, revealing that weak O−H⋯O interactions have a significant spread of the atomic contributions, whereas strong interactions have more localized atomic contributions. These observations suggest that the nature of the O−H⋯O hydrogen bond in water clusters is determined by the inductive effects originated by the different spatial arrangements of the water molecules in the studied clusters.

Abstract
Despite longstanding interest in the mechanism of salt dissolution in aqueous media, a molecular level understanding remains incomplete. Here, cryogenic ion trap vibrational action spectroscopy is combined with electronic structure calculations to track salt hydration in a gas phase model system one water molecule at a time. The infrared photodissociation spectra of microhydrated lithium dihalide anions [LiXX'(H2O) n ]- (XX' = I2, ClI and Cl2; n = 1-3) in the OH stretching region (3800-2800 cm-1) provide a detailed picture of how anion polarizability influences the competition among ion-ion, ion-water and water-water interactions. While exclusively contact ion pairs are observed for n = 1, the formation of solvent-shared ion pairs, identified by markedly red-shifted OH stretching bands (<3200 cm-1), originating from the bridging water molecules, is favored already for n = 2. For n = 3, Li+ reaches its maximum coordination number of four only in [LiI2(H2O)3]-, in accordance with the hard and soft Lewis acid and base principle. Water-water hydrogen bond formation leads to a different solvent-shared ion pair motif in [LiI2(H2O)3]- and network formation even restabilizes the contact ion pair motif in [LiCl2(H2O)3]-. Structural assignments are exclusively possible after the consideration of anharmonic effects. Molecular dynamics simulations confirm that the significance of large amplitude motion (of the water molecules) increases with increasing anion polarizability and that needs to be considered already at cryogenic temperatures.

Abstract
Partitions of the electronic energy such as that provided by the Interacting Quantum Atoms (IQA) approach have given valuable insights for numerous chemical systems and processes. Unfortunately, this kind of analysis may involve the integration of scalar fields over very irregular volumes, a condition which leads to a large and often prohibitive computational effort. These circumstances have limited the use of these energy partitions to systems comprising a few tens of atoms at most. On the other hand, semiempirical methods have proved useful in the study of systems of several thousands of atoms. Therefore, the goal of this work is to carry out partitions of the semiempirical method PM7 in compliance with the IQA approach. For this purpose, we computed one- and two-atomic energetic contributions whose sum equals the PM7 electronic energy. We illustrate how one might exploit the partition of electronic energies computed via the PM7 method by considering small organic and inorganic molecules and the energetics of individual hydrogen bond interactions within several water clusters which include (H2O)30, (H2O)50 and (H2O)100. We also considered the solvation of the amphiphilic caprylate anion to exemplify how to exploit the energy partition proposed in this paper. Overall, this investigation shows how the approach put forward herein might give further insights of the interactions occurring within complex systems in physical and biological chemistry.

CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN 2022; 22:2644-2653.

Abstract
To investigate influences on the topicity of perfluorinated halobenzenes as halogen bond (XB) donors in the solid state, we have conducted a database survey and prepared 18 novel cocrystals of potentially ditopic (13ditfb, 14ditfb) and tritopic (135titfb) XB donors with 15 monotopic pyridines. 135titfb shows high tendency to be mono- or ditopic, but with strong bases it can act as a tritopic XB donor. DFT calculations have shown that binding of a single acceptor molecule on one of the iodine atoms of the XB donor reduces the ESPmax on the remaining iodine atoms and dramatically decreases their potential for forming further halogen bonds, which explains both the high occurrence of crystal structures where the donors do not achieve their maximal topicity and the observed differences in halogen bond lengths. Despite the fact that this effect increases with the basicity of the acceptor, when the increase of halogen bond energy due to the basicity of the acceptor compensates its decrease due to the reduction of the acidity of the donor, it enables strong bases to form cocrystals in which a potentially polytopic XB donor achieves its maximal topicity.

Abstract
In this review, we report recent progress in the field of supercooled water. Due to its uniqueness, water presents numerous anomalies with respect to most simple liquids, showing polyamorphism both in the liquid and in the glassy state. We first describe the thermodynamic scenarios hypothesized for the supercooled region and in particular among them the liquid-liquid critical point scenario that has so far received more experimental evidence. We then review the most recent structural indicators, the two-state model picture of water, and the importance of cooperative effects related to the fact that water is a hydrogen-bonded network liquid. We show throughout the review that water's peculiar properties come into play also when water is in solution, confined, and close to biological molecules. Concerning dynamics, upon mild supercooling water behaves as a fragile glass former following the mode coupling theory, and it turns into a strong glass former upon further cooling. Connections between the slow dynamics and the thermodynamics are discussed. The translational relaxation times of density fluctuations show in fact the fragile-to-strong crossover connected to the thermodynamics arising from the existence of two liquids. When considering also rotations, additional crossovers come to play. Mobility-viscosity decoupling is also discussed in supercooled water and aqueous solutions. Finally, the polyamorphism of glassy water is considered through experimental and simulation results both in bulk and in salty aqueous solutions. Grains and grain boundaries are also discussed.
