Abstract
A system associated with several number of weak interactions supports numerous number of stable structures within a narrow range of energy. Often, a deterministic search method fails to locate the global minimum geometry as well as important local minimum isomers for such systems. Therefore, in this work, the stochastic search technique, namely parallel tempering, has been executed on the quantum chemical surface of theCNO (-) (H 2 O) n $$ {\mathrm{CNO}}^{\left(\hbox{-} \right)}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_n $$ system forn = 1 $$ n=1 $$ -8 to generate global minimum as well as several number of local minimum isomers. IR spectrum can act as the fingerprint property for such system to be identified. Thus, IR spectroscopic features have also been included in this work. Vertical detachment energy has also been calculated to obtain clear information about number of water molecules in several spheres around the central anion. In addition, in a real experimental scenario, not only the global but also the local minimum isomers play an important role in determining the average value of a particular physically observable property. Therefore, the relative conformational populations have been determined for all the evaluated structures for the temperature range between 20K and 400K. Further to understand the phase change behavior, the configurational heat capacities have also been calculated for different sizes.

Abstract
The radial number density profiles of halide and alkali ions in aqueous clusters with equimolar radius ≲1.4 nm, which correspond to ≲255 H2O molecules, have been extensively studied by computations. However, the surface abundance of Cl-, Br-, and I- relative to the bulk interior in these smaller clusters may not be representative of the larger systems. Indeed, here we show that the larger the cluster is, the lower the relative surface abundance of chaotropic halides is. In droplets with an equimolar radius of ≈2.45 nm, which corresponds to ≈2000 H2O molecules, the polarizable halides show a clear number density maximum in the droplet's bulk-like interior. A similar pattern is observed in simulations of the aqueous planar interface with halide salts at room temperature. At elevated temperature the surface propensity of Cl- decreases gradually, while that of I- is partially preserved. The change in the chaotropic halide location at higher temperatures than the room temperature may considerably affect photochemical reactivity in atmospheric aerosols, vapor-liquid nucleation and growth mechanisms, and salt crystallization via solvent evaporation. We argue that the commonly used approach of nullifying parameters in a force field in order to find the factors that determine the ion location does not provide transferable insight into other force fields.

Abstract
The role the charge sign of simple ions plays in determining their surface affinity in aqueous solutions is investigated by computer simulation methods. For this purpose, the free surface of aqueous solutions of fictitious salts is simulated at finite concentration both with nonpolarizable point-charge and polarizable Gaussian-charge potential models. The salts consist of monovalent cations and anions that are, apart from the sign of their charge, identical to each other. In particular, we consider the small Na+ and the large I- ions together with their charge-inverted counterparts. In an attempt to avoid the interference even between the behavior of cations and anions, we also simulate systems containing only one of the above ions, and determine the free energy profile of these ions across the liquid-vapor interface of water at infinite dilution by potential of mean force (PMF) calculations. The obtained results reveal that, in the case of small ions, the anion is hydrated considerably stronger than the cation due to the close approach of water H atoms, bearing a positive fractional charge. As a consequence, the surface affinity of a small anion is even smaller than that of its cationic counterpart. However, considering that small ions are effectively repelled from the water surface, the importance of this difference is negligible. Further, a change in the hydration energy trends of the two oppositely charged ions is observed with their increasing size. This change is largely attributed to the fact that, with increasing ion size, the factor of 2 in the magnitude of the fractional charge of the closely approaching water atoms (i.e., O around cations and H around anions) outweighs the closer approach of the H than the O atom in the hydration energy. Thus, for large ions, being already surface active themselves, the surface affinity of the anion is larger than that of its positively charged counterpart. Further, such a difference is seen even in the case when the sign of the surface potential favors the adsorption of cations.

Abstract
The surface affinity of tetramethylammonium iodide (TMAI) in aqueous solutions is investigated by surface tension measurements and molecular dynamics computer simulations. Experiments, performed in the entire composition range of solubility using the pendant drop method with two different setups, clearly reveal that TMAI is a weakly capillary active salt. Computer simulations performed with the AMBER force field reproduce the experimental data very well, while two other major force fields (i.e., CHARMM and OPLS) can still reproduce the experimental trend qualitatively; however, even qualitative reproduction of the experimental trend requires scaling down the ion charges according to the Leontyev-Stuchebrukhov correction. On the other hand, the GROMOS force field fails in reproducing the experimentally confirmed capillary activity of TMAI. Molecular dynamics simulation results show that, among the two ions, iodide has a clearly larger surface affinity than tetramethylammonium (TMA+). Further, the adsorption of the I- anions is strictly limited to the first molecular layer beneath the liquid-vapor interface, which is followed by several layers of their depletion. On the other hand, the net negative charge of the surface layer, caused by the excess amount of I- with respect to TMA+, is compensated by a diffuse layer of adsorbed TMA+ cations, extending to or beyond the fourth molecular layer beneath the liquid surface.

Abstract
When high-energy radiation passes through aqueous material, low-energy electrons are produced which cause DNA damage. Electronic states of anionic nucleobases have been suggested as an entrance channel to capture the electron. However, identifying these electronic resonances have been restricted to gas-phase electron-nucleobase studies and offer limited insight into the resonances available within the aqueous environment of DNA. Here, resonance and detachment energies of the micro-hydrated uracil pyrimidine nucleobase anion are determined by two-dimensional photoelectron spectroscopy and are shown to extrapolate linearly with cluster size. This extrapolation allows the corresponding resonance and detachment energies to be determined for uracil in aqueous solution as well as the reorganization energy associated with electron capture. Two shape resonances are clearly identified that can capture low-energy electrons and subsequently form the radical anion by solvent stabilization and internal conversion to the ground electronic state. The resonances and their dynamics probed here are the nucleobase-centered doorway states for low-energy electron capture and damage in DNA.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding are important non-covalent interactions that are known to occur in large molecular systems, such as in proteins and crystal structures. Although these interactions are important on a large scale, studying hydrogen and halogen bonding in small, gas-phase chemical species allows for the binding strengths to be determined and compared at a fundamental level. In this study, anion photoelectron spectra are presented for the gas-phase complexes involving bromide and the four chloromethanes, CH3 Cl, CH2 Cl2 , CHCl3 , and CCl4 . The stabilisation energy and electron binding energy associated with each complex are determined experimentally, and the spectra are rationalised by high-level CCSD(T) calculations to determine the non-covalent interactions binding the complexes. These calculations involve nucleophilic bromide and electrophilic bromine interactions with chloromethanes, where the binding motifs, dissociation energies and vertical detachment energies are compared in terms of hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding.

Abstract
We report the results of a detailed and accurate investigation focused on structures and energetics of poly-hydrated halides employing first-principles polarizable halide-water potentials to describe the underlying forces. Following a bottom-up data-driven potential approach, we initially looked into the classical behavior of higher-order X-(H2O)N clusters. We have located several low-lying energies, such as global and local minima, structures for each cluster, with various water molecules (up to N = 8) surrounding the halide anion (X- = F-, Cl-, Br-, I-), employing an evolutionary programming method. It is found that the F--water clusters exhibit different structural configurations than the heavier halides, however independently of the halide anion, all clusters show in general a selective growth with the anion preferring to be connected to the outer shell of the water molecule arrangements. In turn, path-integral molecular dynamics simulations are performed to incorporate explicitly nuclear quantum and thermal effects in describing the nature of halide ion microsolvation in such prototypical model systems. Our data reveal that at low finite temperatures, nuclear quantum effects affect certain structural properties, such as weakening hydrogen bonding between the halide anion and water molecules, with minor distortions in the water network beyond the first hydration shell, indicating local structure rearrangements. Such structural characteristics and the promising cluster size trends observed in the single-ion solvation energies motivated us to draw connections of small size cluster data to the limits of continuum bulk values, toward the investigation of the challenging computational modeling of bulk single ion hydration.

Abstract
In the presence of a halide ion, hypohalous acids can adopt two binding motifs upon formation of the ion-molecule complexes [XHOY]- (X, Y = Cl, Br, I): a hydrogen (HB) bond to the acid OH group and a halogen (XB) bond between the anion and the acid halogen. Here we isolate the X-bonded Cl-·IOH ion-molecule complex by collisions of I-·(H2O)n clusters with HOCl vapor and measure its vibrational spectrum by IR photodissociation of the H2-tagged complex. Anharmonic analysis of its vibrational band pattern reveals that formation of the XB complex results in dramatic lowering of the HOI bending fundamental frequency and elongation of the O-I bond (by 168 cm-1 and 0.13 Å, respectively, relative to isolated HOI). The frequency of the O-I stretch (estimated 436 cm-1) is also encoded in the spectrum by the weak v = 0 → 2 overtone transition at 872 cm-1.

Abstract
The surface of aqueous solutions of simple salts was not the main focus of scientific attention for a long while. Considerable interest in studying such systems has only emerged in the past two decades, following the pioneering finding that large halide ions, such as I-, exhibit considerable surface affinity. Since then, a number of issues have been clarified; however, there are still several unresolved points (e.g., the effect of various salts on lateral water diffusion at the surface) in this respect. Computer simulation studies of the field have largely benefited from the appearance of intrinsic surface analysis methods, by which the particles staying right at the boundary of the two phases can be unambiguously identified. Considering complex ions instead of simple ones opens a number of interesting questions, both from the theoretical point of view and from that of the applications. Besides reviewing the state-of-the-art of intrinsic surface analysis methods as well as the most important advances and open questions concerning the surface of simple ionic solutions, we focus on two such systems in this Perspective, namely, the surface of aqueous mixtures of room temperature ionic liquids and that of ionic surfactants. In the case of the former systems, for which computer simulation studies have still scarcely been reported, we summarize the theoretical advances that could trigger such investigations, which might well be of importance also from the point of view of industrial applications. Computer simulation methods are, on the other hand, widely used in studies of the surface of surfactant solutions. Here we review the most important theoretical advances and issues to be addressed and discuss two areas of applications, namely, the inclusion of information gathered from such simulations in large scale atmospheric models and the better understanding of the airborne transmission of viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Photoelectron spectra of large size selected water cluster anions (H2O)n- (n = 100-1100) have been measured at a low cluster temperature (80 K). An extensive peak analysis has been conducted in order to determine average and isomer-resolved vertical detachment energies (VDE) of the hydrated electron. This allows us, in combination with the reevaluated data of the previously reported results on small- and medium-sized water cluster anions ( J. Chem. Phys. 2009, 131, 144303), to draw a comprehensive picture of the size-dependent development of the VDEs of water clusters. This allows for an improved extrapolation of the cluster VDEs to the bulk, which yields a value of 3.60 ± 0.03 eV. The general size dependence of the VDEs is in very good agreement with a standard dielectric model.

Optimised geometries of the singly solvated species featured the halide appended to the CH3 CHO molecule in-line with the electropositive portion of the C=O bond and having binding energies between 45 and 52 kJ mol-1 . The doubly solvated Cl- ⋅⋅⋅(CH3 CHO)2 species features asymmetric solvation upon the addition of a second CH3 CHO molecule. Theoretical detachment energies were found to be in excellent agreement with experiment, with comparisons drawn between other halide complexes with simple carbonyl molecules.

Abstract
The solvation of alkali and halide ions in the aqueous environment has been a subject of intense experimental and theoretical research with multidisciplinary interests; yet, a comprehensive molecular-level understanding has still not been obtained. In recent years, electron spectroscopy has been increasingly applied to study the electronic and structural properties of aqueous ions with implications, especially in atmospheric chemistry. In this work, we report core and valence level (Cl 2p, Cl 3p, and K 3p) photoelectron spectra of the common alkali halide, KCl, doped in gas-phase water clusters in the size range of a few hundred water molecules. The results indicate that the electronic structure of these nanosolutions shows a distinct character from that observed at the liquid-vapor interface in liquid microjets and ambient pressure setups. Insights are provided into the unique solvation properties of ions in a nanoaqueous environment, emerging properties of bulk electrolyte solutions with growing cluster size, and sensitivity of the electronic structure to varying solvation configurations.

Abstract
A combined experimental and theoretical approach has been used to study intermolecular chalcogen bonding. Specifically, the chalcogen bonding occurring between halide anions and CS2 molecules has been investigated using both anion photoelectron spectroscopy and high-level CCSD(T) calculations. The relative strength of the chalcogen bond has been determined computationally using the complex dissociation energies as well as experimentally using the electron stabilisation energies. The anion complexes featured dissociation energies on the order of 47 kJ/mol to 37 kJ/mol, decreasing with increasing halide size. Additionally, the corresponding neutral complexes have been examined computationally, and show three loosely-bound structural motifs and a molecular radical.

Abstract
The distribution of ions in the proximity of the liquid-vapor interface of their aqueous solution has been the subject of an intense debate during the last decade. The effects of ionic polarizability have been one of its salient aspects. Much less has been said about the corresponding dynamical properties, which are substantially unexplored. Here, we investigate the single-particle dynamics at the liquid-vapor interface of several alkali halide solutions, using molecular dynamics simulations with polarizable and nonpolarizable force fields and intrinsic surface analysis. We analyze the diffusion coefficient, residence time, and velocity autocorrelation function of water and ions and investigate how these properties depend on the molecular layer where they reside. While anions are found in the first molecular layer for relatively long times, cations are only making quick excursions into it, thanks to thermal fluctuations. The in-layer residence time of ions and their molar fraction in the layer turned out to be linearly dependent on each other. We interpret this unexpected result using a simple two-state model. In addition, we found that, unlike water and other neat molecular liquids that show a different diffusion mechanism at the surface than in the bulk of their liquid phase, ions do not enjoy enhanced mobility in the surface layer of their aqueous solution. This result indicates that ions in the surface layer are shielded by their nearest water neighbors from being exposed to the vapor phase as much as possible. Such positions are available for the ions at the negatively curved troughs of the molecularly rugged liquid surface.

Abstract
A combined experimental and theoretical approach has been used to investigate X- ⋅⋅⋅CH2 O (X=F, Cl, Br, I) complexes in the gas phase. Photoelectron spectroscopy, in tandem with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, has been used to determine electron binding energies for the Cl- ⋅⋅⋅CH2 O, Br- ⋅⋅⋅CH2 O, and I- ⋅⋅⋅CH2 O species. Additionally, high-level CCSD(T) calculations found a C2v minimum for these three anion complexes, with predicted electron detachment energies in excellent agreement with the experimental photoelectron spectra. F- ⋅⋅⋅CH2 O was also studied theoretically, with a Cs hydrogen-bonded complex found to be the global minimum. Calculations extended to neutral X⋅⋅⋅CH2 O complexes, with the results of potential interest to atmospheric CH2 O chemistry.

Abstract
The surface tension of all aqueous alkali halide solutions is higher than that of pure water. According to the Gibbs adsorption equation, this indicates a net depletion of these ions in the interfacial region. However, simulations and experiments show that large, soft ions, such as I-, can accumulate at the liquid/vapor interface. The presence of a loose hydration shell is usually considered to be the reason for this behavior. In this work, we perform computer simulations to characterize the liquid-vapor interface of aqueous alkali chloride and sodium halide solutions systematically, considering all ions from Li+ to Cs+ and from F- to I-. Using computational methods for the removal of surface fluctuations, we analyze the structure of the interface at a dramatically enhanced resolution, showing that the positive excess originates in the very first molecular layer and that the next 3-4 layers account for the net negative excess. With the help of a fictitious system with charge-inverted ion pairs, we also show that it is not possible to rationalize the surface affinity of ions in solutions in terms of the properties of anions and cations separately. Moreover, the surface excess is generally dominated by the smaller of the two ions.

Abstract
The dynamics of iodide-uracil-water (I-·U·H2O) clusters following π-π* excitation of the nucleobase are probed using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. Photoexcitation of this cluster at 4.77 eV results in electron transfer from the iodide moiety to the uracil, creating a valence-bound anion within the cross correlation of the pump and probe laser pulses. This species can decay by a number of channels, including autodetachment and dissociation to I- or larger anion fragments. Comparison of the energetics of the photoexcited cluster and its decay dynamics with those of the bare iodide-uracil (I-·U) complex provides a sensitive probe of the effects of microhydration on these species.

Abstract
The first experimental evidence of the structure of the CCl5- gas-phase anion complex is presented in conjunction with results from high-level theoretical calculations. The photoelectron spectrum of the system shows a single peak with a maximum at 4.22 eV. Coupled cluster single double (triple) detachment energies of two stable C3v ion-molecule complexes of the form Cl-···CCl4 were also determined. The first complex found features the Cl- bound linearly in a Cl-···Cl-C bonding arrangement, while the second, less stable minimum has the Cl- positioned at the face of the CCl4 molecule, midway between three chlorine atoms. The calculated detachment energy for the first complex was found to be in excellent agreement with experiment, allowing the structure of CCl5- in the gas phase to be postulated as a noncovalent Cl-···CCl4 anion complex, with the Cl- anion tethered by a typical halogen bond.

Abstract
The understanding of ion solvation phenomena is of significance due to their influences on many important chemical, biological, and environmental processes. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods have been used to investigate this topic with molecular insights. As ion-solvent interactions are weak, ionization processes should be as soft as possible in order to retain solvation structures. An in situ liquid secondary ion MS (SIMS) approach developed in our group has been recently utilized in investigations of Li ion solvation in nonaqueous solution, and it detected a series of solvated Li ions. As traditionally SIMS has long been recognized as a hard ionization process with strong damage occurring at the sputtering interface, it is very interesting to study further how soft in situ liquid SIMS can be. In this work, we used halide ion hydration as an example to compare the ionization performance of the in situ liquid SIMS approach with regular electrospray ionization MS (ESI-MS). Results show that, although ESI has been recognized as a soft ionization method, nearly no solvated halide ions were detected by ESI-MS analysis, which acquired only strong signals of salt ion clusters. In contrast, in liquid SIMS spectra, a series of obvious hydrated halide ion compositions could be observed. We further evaluated the hydration numbers of halide ions and revealed the effects of the ion size, charge density, and polarizability on the hydration phenomenon. Our findings demonstrated that the in situ liquid SIMS approach is surprisingly soft, and it is expected to have very broad applications on investigation of various ion-solvent interactions and many other interesting chemical processes (e.g., the initial nucleation of nanoparticle formation) in liquid environment.

Abstract
Iodide-nucleobase (I-·N) clusters studied by time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) are an opportune model system for examining radiative damage of DNA induced by low-energy electrons. By initiating charge transfer from iodide to the nucleobase and following the dynamics of the resulting transient negative ions (TNIs) with femtosecond time resolution, TRPES provides a novel window into the chemistry triggered by the attachment of low-energy electrons to nucleobases. In this Perspective, we examine and compare the dynamics of electron attachment, autodetachment, and photodissociation in a variety of I-·N clusters, including iodide-uracil (I-·U), iodide-thymine (I-·T), iodide-uracil-water (I-·U·H2O), and iodide-adenine (I-·A), to develop a more unified representation of our understanding of nucleobase TNIs. The experiments probe whether dipole-bound or valence-bound TNIs are formed initially and the subsequent time evolution of these species. We also provide an outlook for forthcoming applications of TRPES to larger iodide-containing complexes to enable the further investigation of microhydration dynamics in nucleobases, as well as electron attachment and photodissociation in more complex nucleic acid constituents.

Abstract
A subsystem approach for obtaining electron binding energies in the valence region is presented and applied to the case of halide ions (X^{-},X=F-At) in water. This approach is based on electronic structure calculations combining the relativistic equation-of-motion coupled cluster method for electron detachment and density functional theory via the frozen density embedding approach, using structures from classical molecular dynamics with polarizable force fields for discrete systems (in our study, droplets containing the anion and 50 water molecules). Our results indicate that one can accurately capture both the large solvent effect observed for the halides and the splitting of their ionization signals due to the increasingly large spin-orbit coupling of the p_{3/2}-p_{1/2} manifold across the series, at an affordable computational cost. Furthermore, owing to the quantum mechanical treatment of both solute and solvent electron binding energies of semiquantitative quality are also obtained for (bulk) water as by-products of the calculations for the halogens (in droplets).

Abstract
The dynamics of low energy electron attachment to monohydrated uracil are investigated using time-resolved photoelectron imaging to excite and probe iodide-uracil-water (I-·U·H2O) clusters. Upon photoexcitation of I-·U·H2O at 4.38 eV, near the measured cluster vertical detachment energy of 4.40 eV ± 0.05 eV, formation of both the dipole bound (DB) anion and valence bound (VB) anion of I-·U·H2O is observed and characterized using a probe photon energy of 1.58 eV. The measured binding energies for both anions are larger than those of the non-hydrated iodide-uracil (I-·U) counterparts, indicating that the presence of water stabilizes the transient negative ions. The VB anion exhibits a somewhat delayed 400 fs rise when compared to I-·U, suggesting that partial conversion of the DB anion to form the VB anion at early times is promoted by the water molecule. At a higher probe photon energy, 3.14 eV, I- re-formation is measured to be the major photodissociation channel. This product exhibits a bi-exponential rise; it is likely that the fast component arises from DB anion decay by internal conversion to the anion ground state followed by dissociation to I-, and the slow component arises from internal conversion of the VB anion.

Abstract
Photodetachment of the ClH2O- anion is investigated using full-dimensional quantum mechanics on accurate potential energy surfaces of both the anion and neutral species. Detailed analysis of the photoelectron spectrum and the corresponding wavefunctions reveals that the photodetachment leads to, in the product channel of the exothermic HCl + OH → Cl + H2O reaction, the formation of numerous Feshbach resonances due apparently to slow energy transfer from H2O vibrational modes to the dissociation coordinate. These long-lived resonances can be grouped into two broad peaks in the low-resolution photoelectron spectrum, which is in good agreement with available experiments, and they are assigned to the ground and first excited OH stretching vibrational manifolds of H2O complexed with Cl. In addition, effects of isotope substitution on the photoelectron spectrum were small. Finally, photodetachment of the vibrationally excited ClH2O- in the ionic hydrogen bond mode is found to lead to Feshbach resonances with higher stretching vibrational excitations in H2O.

Abstract
The vibrational spectroscopy of the cyanide-water complex and its fully deuterated isotopologue is studied in the spectral range from 800 to 3800 cm-1. Infrared/infrared double-resonance population labeling spectroscopy of the cryogenically cooled, messenger-tagged complexes isolates the spectral signature of the two quasi-isoenergetic, singly hydrogen-bonded isomers HOH···NC- and HOH···CN-. The infrared photodissociation spectra are assigned based on a comparison to simulated anharmonic spectra. Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectra in the temperature range from 6 to 300 K confirm the stability of the two isomers at lower temperatures and provide evidence for a considerably more dynamic structure, also involving doubly hydrogen-bonded configurations, at higher internal energies. The observed red shifts ΔνOH of the hydrogen-bonded O-H stretches, 671 cm-1 (HOH···NC-) and 812 cm-1 (HOH···CN-), confirm the universal correlation of ΔνOH with the corresponding proton affinities.

Abstract
Ion specificity, a widely observed macroscopic phenomenon in condensed phases and at interfaces, is a fundamental chemical physics issue. Herein we report our recent studies of such effects using cluster models in an "atom-by-atom" and "molecule-by-molecule" fashion not possible with the condensed-phase methods. We use electrospray ionization (ESI) to generate molecular and ionic clusters to simulate key molecular entities involved in local binding regions and characterize them by employing negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy (NIPES). Inter- and intramolecular interactions and binding configurations are directly obtained as functions of the cluster size and composition, providing molecular-level descriptions and characterization over the local active sites that play crucial roles in determining the solution chemistry and condensed-phase phenomena. The topics covered in this article are relevant to a wide range of research fields from ion specific effects in electrolyte solutions, ion selectivity/recognition in normal functioning of life, to molecular specificity in aerosol particle formation, as well as in rational material design and synthesis.

Abstract
Vibrational spectra of X-H2O (X = F, Cl, Br) were simulated using full dimensional vibrational calculations using quantum chemistry potential energy surfaces. Furthermore, utilizing the reflection approximation, we simulated the photodetachment spectra obtained from different vibrational excited states. From these spectra, we can observe changes in the hydrogen bond interaction between the anion and the neutral XH2O system. Notably, for F-H2O, the excitation of the ionic hydrogen bonded (IHB) OH stretching vibration generates a large tail on the low energy side of the photodetachment spectra compared to the detachment from the zero-point vibration state. This shows that the IHB OH stretching vibration of F-H2O causes charge delocalization from F- to the oxygen atom in H2O, and that the photodetachment from FHOH- occurs at lower energies.

Abstract
The properties of halides from the lightest, fluoride (F(-)), to the heaviest, astatide (At(-)), have been studied in water using a polarizable force-field approach based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at the 10 ns scale. The selected force-field explicitly treats the cooperativity within the halide-water hydrogen bond networks. The force-field parameters have been adjusted to ab initio data on anion/water clusters computed at the relativistic Möller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory level of theory. The anion static polarizabilities of the two heaviest halides, I(-) and At(-), were computed in the gas phase using large and diffuse atomic basis sets, and taking into account both electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling within a four-component framework. Our MD simulation results show the solvation properties of I(-) and At(-) in aqueous phase to be very close. For instance, their first hydration shells are structured and encompass 9.2 and 9.1 water molecules at about 3.70 ± 0.05 Å, respectively. These values have to be compared to the F(-), Cl(-), and Br(-) ones, i.e., 6.3, 8.4, and 9.0 water molecules at 2.74, 3.38, and 3.55 Å, respectively. Moreover our computations predict the solvation free energy of At(-) in liquid water at ambient conditions to be 68 kcal mol(-1), a value also close the I(-) one, about 70 kcal mol(-1). In all, our simulation results for I(-) are in excellent agreement with the latest neutron- and X-ray diffraction studies. Those for the At(-) ion are predictive, as no theoretical or experimental data are available to date.

Abstract
In this work we obtained global as well as local structures of Br2((-))(H2O)n clusters for n = 2 to 6 followed by the study of IR-spectral features and thermochemistry for the structures. The way adopted by us to obtain structures is not the conventional one used in most cases. Here we at first generated excellent quality pre-optimized structures by exploring the suitable empirical potential energy surface using stochastic optimizer simulated annealing. These structures are then further refined using quantum chemical calculations to obtain the final structures, and spectral and thermodynamic features. We clearly showed that our approach results in very quick and better convergence which reduces the computational cost and obviously using the strategy we are able to get one [i.e. global] or more than one [i.e. global and local(s)] energetically lower structures than those which are already reported for a given cluster size. Moreover, IR-spectral results and the evolutionary trends in interaction energy, solvation energy and vertical detachment energy for global structures of each size have also been presented to establish the utility of the procedure employed.

Abstract
The impact of the solvent on the photodissociation of embedded molecules has been intensively investigated in the last decades. Collisions of photofragments with the solvating atoms or molecules can change their kinetic energy distribution or even lead to the de-excitation of the dissociating molecule to a bound electronic state quenching the dissociation. In this article we show that this cage effect is strongly enhanced if interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) of the excited state becomes allowed. Ab initio calculations in H2O-Cl(-) cluster show that the ultra-fast dissociation of water in the à excited state is strongly quenched by ICD. We found that this very efficient quenching is due to two factors. First, the lifetimes of the à state due to ICD are short ranging between 6 and 30 fs. Second, nuclear dynamics is dominated by the chattering motion of the H atom between O and Cl(-) allowing ICD to act for longer times. We hope that this work will be an important first step in clarifying the impact of ICD on photodissociation of embedded molecules.

Abstract
The behavior of charged solute molecules in aqueous solutions is often classified using the concept of kosmotropes ("structure makers") and chaotropes ("structure breakers"). There is a growing consensus that the key to kosmotropic/chaotropic behaviors lies in the local solvent region, but the exact microscopic basis for such differentiation is not well-understood. This issue is examined in this work by analyzing size selective solvation of a well-known chaotrope, a negatively charged SCN(-) molecule. Combining experimental photoelectron spectroscopy measurements with theoretical modeling, we examine evolution of solvation structure up to eight waters. We observe that SCN(-) indeed fits the description of weakly hydrated ion, and its solvation is heavily driven by stabilization of water-water interaction network. However, the impact on water structure is more subtle than that associated with "structure breaker". In particular, we observe that the solvation structure of SCN(-) preserves the "packing" structure of the water network but changes local directionality of hydrogen bonds in the local solvent region. The resulting effect is closer to that of "structure weakener", where solute can be readily accommodated into the native water network, at the cost of compromising its stability due to constraints on hydrogen bonding directionality.

Abstract
The streaming potentials of liquid beams of aqueous NaCl, NaBr, and NaI solutions are measured using soft X-ray, He(I), and laser multiphoton ionization photoelectron spectroscopy. Gaseous molecules are ionized in the vicinity of liquid beams and the photoelectron energy shifts are measured as a function of the distance between the ionization point and the liquid beam. The streaming potentials change their polarity with concentration of electrolytes, from which the singular points of concentration eliminating the streaming potentials are determined. The streaming currents measured in air also vanish at these concentrations. The electron binding energies of liquid water and I(-), Br(-), and Cl(-) anions are revisited and determined more accurately than in previous studies.
