Abstract The solvation structure and dynamics of Cu2+ in 18.6 % aqueous ammonia have been investigated using an ab initio quantum mechanical charge field molecular dynamics (QMCF MD) simulation approach at the Hartree–Fock (HF) level of theory applying the LANL2DZ ECP and Dunning DZP basis sets for Cu2+, ammonia and water, respectively. During a simulation time of 20 ps, only NH3 molecules are observed within the first solvation shell of Cu2+, resulting in the formation of an octahedral [Cu(NH3)6]2+ complex. While no exchange of these ligands with the second solvation shell are observed along the simulation, the monitoring of the associated N-Ntrans distances highlight the dynamics of the associated Jahn-Teller distortions, showing on average 2 elongated axial (2.19 Å) and 4 equatorial Cu–N bonds (2.39 Å). The observed structural properties are found in excellent agreement with experimental studies. In addition, an NBO analysis was carried out, confirming the strong electrostatic character of the Cu2+–NH3 interaction.
