Abstract
This paper quantitatively examines why dipole moments of HCl(H2O)n=1-8 cannot serve as the dissociation criterion for acid molecules using the Hirshfeld-I approach. Also, we propose the possible experimental parameter 〈P(HCl)〉, whose statistical average enables the assessment of acid dissociation in mixed clusters. Furthermore, our calculations reveal that a minimum of four water molecules are necessary to dissociate an HCl molecule.

Abstract
Molybdenum hexafluoride (MoF6) is used as a non-radioactive substitute for uranium to study the hydrolysis of metal hexafluorides. Molybdenum hexafluoride gas and water vapor, from the air, were sequentially layered onto a diamond substrate kept at liquid nitrogen temperature using a custom designed cryogenic cell with a copper cold finger. Reaction progress was monitored by transmission Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) through the layers and diamond substrate over several hours while allowing the substrate to warm. Changes in the modes in the 500-1000 cm-1 region are tracked as the reaction progresses in order to identify intermediate species. Strong absorption features are also observed in the 1000-3000 cm-1 range, suggesting the presence of ionic dissociation intermediates trapped in a disordered H-bonded network of cryogenic hydrofluoric acid. A possible reaction pathway is proposed and the final hydrolysis product is characterized by FTIR, UV-vis, and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS).

Abstract
In this work, we analyze the interactions between two or three hydrogen halide molecules and the same number of water moieties through a systematic exploration of their potential energy surfaces. Our results indicate that the most stable HF and HCl aggregates do not experience dissociation of any of the acid fragments, even with three water molecules. In contrast, in the HBr and HI clusters, one of the acid fragments does dissociate. While the global minimum of (HBr)3 (H2 O)3 is a hydrogen-bridged bihalide anion (BrHBr- ), which is persistent at temperatures up to 203 K, the lowest energy structure of (HI)3 (H2 O)3 has a separated ion pair, but the motif with a bihalide anion (IHI- ) is only 0.2 kcal mol-1 above the global minimum. Among the more stable structures is a broad spectrum of contacts, including water⋯water, HX⋯water, and HX⋯HX hydrogen bonds, halogen bonds, ionic and long-range X⋯H contacts.

Abstract
Aquivion® E87-12S Perfluorosulfonated acid ionomer material (PFSA) has been studied as a membrane technology for natural gas sweetening from CO2, H2S due to its interesting chemical and mechanical stability and good separation performance for polar compounds in humid environments. In the present work, permeation of the H2S/CO2/CH4 ternary mixture in this short-side PFSA chain was investigated at pressures up to 10 bar, temperatures up to 50 °C, and in a range of relative humidity (RH) from 20% to 90%. The results obtained confirm the strong dependence of Aquivion® on water activity and temperature, and its ability to separate gases based on their water solubility without substantial differences between pure and mixed gas experiments. Indeed, even when tested in ternary mixture, the permeation behavior remains similar to that observed for pure components and binary mixtures. In particular, the permeability of H2S is higher than that of CO2 and methane CH4, reaching values of 500 Barrer at 50 °C and 80% RH, against 450 and 23 Barrer for the other two gases respectively. Additionally, when tested at higher pressures of up to 10 bar under humid conditions, the membrane properties remained largely unchanged, thus confirming the overall stability and durability of Aquivion® E87-12S in acid environments.

Abstract
Water clusters are ubiquitously formed in aqueous solutions by hydrogen bonding, which is quite sensitive to various environment factors such as temperature, pressure, electrolytes, and pH. Investigation of how the environment has impact on water structure is important for further understanding of the nature of water and the interactions between water and solutes. In this work, pH-dependent water structure changes were studied by monitoring the changes for the size distribution of protonated water clusters by in-situ liquid ToF-SIMS. In combination with a light illumination system, in-situ liquid ToF-SIMS was used to real-time measure the changes of a light-activated organic photoacid under different light illumination conditions. Thus, the proton transfer and pH-mediated water cluster changes were analyzed in real-time. It was found that higher concentration of free protons could lead to a strengthened local hydrogen bonding network as well as relatively larger protonated water clusters in both organic acid and inorganic acid. Besides, the accumulation of protons at the liquid-vacuum interface under light illumination was observed owing to the affinity of organic molecules to the low-pressure gas phase. The application of in-situ liquid ToF-SIMS analysis in combination with in-situ light illumination system opened up an avenue to real-time investigate light-activated reactions. Besides, the results regarding water structure changes in acidic solutions showed important insights in related atmospheric and physiochemical processes.

Abstract
The behavior of ice under extreme conditions undergoes the change of intermolecular binding patterns and leads to the structural phase transitions, which are needed for modeling the convection and internal structure of the giant planets and moons of the solar system as well as H2O-rich exoplanets. Such extreme conditions limit the structural explorations in laboratory but open a door for the theoretical study. The ice phases IX and XIII are located in the high pressure and low temperature region of the phase diagram. However, to the best of our knowledge, the phase transition boundary between these two phases is still not clear. In this work, based on the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory, we theoretically investigate the ice phases IX and XIII and predict their structures, vibrational spectra and Gibbs free energies at various extreme conditions, and for the first time confirm that the phase transition from ice IX to XIII can occur around 0.30 GPa and 154 K. The proposed work, taking into account the many-body electrostatic effect and the dispersion interactions from the first principles, opens up the possibility of completing the ice phase diagram and provides an efficient method to explore new phases of molecular crystals.

Abstract
With a p Ka of 2.0, HSO4- is not a strong acid as its dissociation percentage is only ∼10% in a solution of 1 M. However, our ab initio molecular dynamics and density functional theory calculations show that acid dissociation in the hydrate clusters, HSO4-(H2O) n, is quite facile at moderate sizes. It starts at around n = 12 and is completed by n = 16 when the energetics becomes very favorable. The dissociation explains the significant broadening at n = 16 in the S═O stretching region of the previously reported infrared photodissociation spectra for HSO4-(H2O) n as the solvation shell is tightened around the sulfate dianion and the proton. More importantly, HSO4-(H2O) n should provide an ideal model to probe the molecular details involved in an acid dissociation process.

Abstract
In this article, the underlying effect of phosphoric acid etching and additional water vapor on chlorine desorption behavior over a model catalyst La3Mn2O7 was explored. Acid treatment led to the formation of LaPO4 and enhanced the mobility of lattice oxygen of La3Mn2O7 evidenced by a range of characterization (i.e., X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed analyses, NH3-IR, etc.). The former introduced thermally stable Brönsted acidic sites that enhanced dichloromethane (DCM) hydrolysis while the latter facilitated desorption of accumulated chlorine at elevated temperatures. The acid-modified catalyst displayed a superior catalytic activity in DCM oxidation compared to the untreated sample, which was ascribed to the abundance of proton donors and Mn(IV) species. The addition of water vapor to the reaction favored the formation and desorption of HCl and avoided surface chlorination at low temperatures. This resulted in a further reduction in reaction temperature under humid conditions ( T90 of 380 °C for the modified catalyst). These results provide an in-depth interpretation of chlorine desorption behavior for DCM oxidation, which should aid the future design of industrial catalysts for the durable catalytic combustion of chlorinated organics.

Abstract
The dissociation of acids in aqueous environments at low temperatures in the presence of a limited amount of water is underlying a wealth of processes from atmospheric to interstellar science. For the paradigmatic case of HCl(H_{2}O)_{n} clusters, our extensive ab initio path integral simulations quantify in terms of free energy differences and barriers that n=4 water molecules are indeed required to dissociate HCl at low temperatures. Increasing the temperature, however, reverses the process and thus counteracts dissociation by fluctuation-driven recombination. The size of the electric dipole moment is shown to not correlate with the acid being in its dissociated or molecular state, thus rendering its measurement as a function of n unable to detect the dissociation transition.

Abstract
Linear and two-dimensional infrared (IR) spectroscopy of site-specific probe molecules provides an opportunity to gain a molecular-level understanding of the local hydrogen-bonding network, conformational dynamics, and long-range electrostatic interactions in condensed-phase and biological systems. A challenge in computation is to determine the time-dependent vibrational frequencies that incorporate explicitly both nuclear quantum effects of vibrational motions and an electronic structural representation of the potential energy surface. In this paper, a nuclear quantum vibrational perturbation (QVP) method is described for efficiently determining the instantaneous vibrational frequency of a chromophore in molecular dynamics simulations. Computational efficiency is achieved through the use of (a) discrete variable representation of the vibrational wave functions, (b) a perturbation theory to evaluate the vibrational energy shifts due to solvent dynamic fluctuations, and (c) a combined QM/MM potential for the systems. It was found that first-order perturbation is sufficiently accurate, enabling time-dependent vibrational frequencies to be obtained on the fly in molecular dynamics. The QVP method is illustrated in the mode-specific linear and 2D-IR spectra of the H-Cl stretching frequency in the HCl-water clusters and the carbonyl stretching vibration of acetone in aqueous solution. To further reduce computational cost, a hybrid strategy was proposed, and it was found that the computed vibrational spectral peak position and line shape are in agreement with experimental results. In addition, it was found that anharmonicity is significant in the H-Cl stretching mode, and hydrogen-bonding interactions further enhance anharmonic effects. The present QVP method complements other computational approaches, including path integral-based molecular dynamics, and represents a major improvement over the electrostatics-based spectroscopic mapping procedures.

Abstract
The structure, stability and infrared spectral signatures of triflic acid (TA) with water clusters (Wn) and protonated water clusters (TAH+Wn, n = 1 - 6) were computed using DFT and MP2 methods. Our calculations show that a minimum of three water molecules are necessary to stabilize the dissociated zwitterionic form of TA. It can be seen from the results that there is no significant movement of protons in smaller (n = 1 and 2) and linear (n = 1 - 6) types of water clusters. Further, the geometries of TAWn clusters first form a neutral pair (NP) to contact ion pair (CIP), then form a solvent separated ion pair (SSIP) in a water hexamer. These findings reveal that proton transfer may take place through NP to CIP and then CIP to SSIP. The calculated binding energies (BEs) of ion pair clusters is always higher than that of NP clusters (i.e., more stable than the NP). Existing excess proton linear chain clusters transfer a proton to adjacent water molecules via a Grotthuss mechanism, whereas the same isomers in the branched motifs do not conduct protons. Examination of geometrical parameters and infrared frequencies reveals hydronium ion (H3O+ also called Eigen cation) formation in both TAWn and protonated TAWn clusters. The stability of Eigen water clusters is three times higher than that of other non-Eigen water clusters. Our study shows clearly that formation of ion pairs in TAWn and TAH+Wn clusters greatly favors proton transfer to neighboring water molecules and also enhances the stability of these complexes.

Abstract
Recent breakthrough of novel hierarchic materials, orchestrated through oriented attachment of crystal subunits, opened questions on what is the mechanism of their self-assembly. Using rutile-type TiO2, synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of Ti(IV)-butoxide in highly acidic aqueous medium, we uncovered the key processes controlling this nonclassical crystallization process. Formation of complex branched mesocrystals of rutile is accomplished by oriented assembly of precipitated fibers along the two low-energy planes, i.e. {110} and {101}, resulting in lateral attachment and twinning. Phase analysis of amorphous material enclosed in pockets between imperfectly assembled rutile fibers clearly shows harmonic ordering resembling that of the adjacent rutile structure. To our understanding this may be the first experimental evidence indicating the presence of electromagnetic force-fields that convey critical structural information through which oriented attachment of nanocrystals is made possible.

Abstract
The potential energy surfaces of the HCl(H2O)n (n is the number of water molecules) clusters are systematically explored using density functional theory and high-level ab initio computations. On the basis of electronic energies, the number of water molecules needed for HCl dissociation is four as reported by some experimental groups. However, this number is five owing to the inclusion of entropic factors. Wiberg bond indices are calculated and analyzed, and the results provide a quadratic correlation and classification of clusters according to the nondissociated, partially dissociated, and fully dissociated character of the H-Cl bond. Our computations show that if temperature is not controlled during the experiment, the values obtained for the dipole moment (or for any measurable property) are susceptible to change, providing a different picture of the number of water molecules needed for HCl dissociation in a nanoscopic droplet.

Abstract
The electric dipole moments of (H2O)nDCl (n=3-9) clusters have been measured by the beam-deflection method. Reflecting the (dynamical) charge distribution within the system, the dipole moment contributes information about the microscopic structure of nanoscale solvation. The addition of a DCl molecule to a water cluster results in a strongly enhanced susceptibility. There is evidence for a noticeable rise in the dipole moment occurring at n≈5-6. This size is consistent with predictions for the onset of ionic dissociation. Additionally, a molecular-dynamics model suggests that even with a nominally bound impurity an enhanced dipole moment can arise due to the thermal and zero-point motion of the proton and the water molecules. The experimental measurements and the calculations draw attention to the importance of fluctuations in defining the polarity of water-based nanoclusters and generally to the essential role played by motional effects in determining the response of fluxional nanoscale systems under realistic conditions.

Abstract
The conformations and relative stabilities of folded and extended 3-fluoro-γ-aminobutyric acid (3F-GABA) conformers were studied using explicit solvation models. Geometry optimisations in the gas phase with one or two explicit water molecules favour folded and neutral structures containing intramolecular NH···O-C hydrogen bonds. With three or five explicit water molecules zwitterionic minima are obtained, with folded structures being preferred over extended conformers. The stability of folded versus extended zwitterionic conformers increases on going from a PCM continuum solvation model to the microsolvated complexes, though extended structures become less disfavoured with the inclusion of more water molecules. Full explicit solvation was studied with a hybrid quantum-mechanical/molecular-mechanical (QM/MM) scheme and molecular dynamics simulations, including more than 6000 TIP3P water molecules. According to free energies obtained from thermodynamic integration at the PM3/MM level and corrected for B3LYP/MM total energies, the fully extended conformer is more stable than folded ones by about -4.5 kJ mol(-1). B3LYP-computed (3)J(F,H) NMR spin-spin coupling constants, averaged over PM3/MM-MD trajectories, agree best with experiment for this fully extended form, in accordance with the original NMR analysis. The seeming discrepancy between static PCM calculations and experiment noted previously is now resolved. That the inexpensive semiempirical PM3 method performs so well for this archetypical zwitterion is encouraging for further QM/MM studies of biomolecular systems.

Abstract
Studying the solvation of an extra proton is important for understanding the proton transfer mechanism in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. We study the interaction of hydronium ion and Zündel ion with water molecules in their first solvation shell using density functional method. A many-body analysis approach has been used to know the contribution of many-body energies to the binding energy of the hydronium ion–(water)3 and Zündel ion–(water)4 hydrogen bonded complex. It was observed that not only two-body energies but three-body and four-body energies also contribute significantly to the binding energy of the hydronium ion–(water)3 and Zündel ion–(water)4 complexes. The binding energy for the former is -32.14 kcal/mol whereas that for the latter is -48.48 kcal/mol. The percentage contributions of the many-body energies to the binding energies for these complexes are reported. The contribution from the relaxation energy to the binding energy of hydronium ion–(water)3 and Zündel ion–(water)4 complexes is 6% and 4.58%, respectively.

Abstract
Understanding chemical reactivity at ultracold conditions, thus enabling molecular syntheses via interstellar and atmospheric processes, is a key issue in cryochemistry. In particular, acid dissociation and proton transfer reactions are ubiquitous in aqueous microsolvation environments. Here, the full dissociation of a HCl molecule upon stepwise solvation by a small number of water molecules at low temperatures, as relevant to helium nanodroplet isolation (HENDI) spectroscopy, is analyzed in mechanistic detail. It is found that upon successive aggregation of HCl with H(2)O molecules, a series of cyclic heteromolecular structures, up to and including HCl(H(2)O)(3), are initially obtained before a precursor state for dissociation, HCl(H(2)O)(3)···H(2)O, is observed upon addition of a fourth water molecule. The latter partially aggregated structure can be viewed as an "activated species", which readily leads to dissociation of HCl and to the formation of a solvent-shared ion pair, H(3)O(+)(H(2)O)(3)Cl(-). Overall, the process is mostly downhill in potential energy, and, in addition, small remaining barriers are overcome by using kinetic energy released as a result of forming hydrogen bonds due to aggregation. The associated barrier is not ruled by thermal equilibrium but is generated by athermal non-equilibrium dynamics. These "aggregation-induced chemical reactions" are expected to be of broad relevance to chemistry at ultralow temperature much beyond HENDI spectroscopy.
