We present results of gas phase cluster and liquid water simulations from the recently determined VRT(ASP–W)III water dimer potential energy surface (the third fitting of the Anisotropic Site Potential with Woermer dispersion to vibration–rotation–tunnelling data). VRT(ASP–W)III is shown to not only be a model of high ‘spectroscopic’ accuracy for the water dimer, but also makes accurate predictions of vibrational ground–state properties for clusters up through the hexamer. Results of ambient liquid water simulations from VRT(ASP–W)III are compared with those from ab initio molecular dynamics, other potentials of ‘spectroscopic’ accuracy and with experiment. The results herein represent the first time to the authors' knowledge that a ‘spectroscopic’ potential surface is able to correctly model condensed phase properties of water.

Using an accurate 6D water dimer potential energy surface, we compute vibration–rotation-tunnelling levels of HOD dimer, by assuming that the two monomers are rigid.

For the theoretical study of the title reaction, an analytical full-dimensional potential energy surface named PES-2021 was developed for the first time, by fitting high-level explicitly-correlated ab initio data. This...

Theoretical vibration–rotation coefficients for tritiated and deuterated [Formula: see text] are reported for Carney and Porter's ab initio electronic CI potential energy surface. In the calculation of coefficients connecting the zero-point and fundamental states of vibration, accurate vibrational CI wave functions, consisting of 220 configuration functions, were used.

<div> <div> <div> <p>A quantitative description of the interactions between ions and water is key to characterizing the role played by ions in mediating fundamental processes that take place in aqueous environments. At the molecular level, vibrational spectroscopy provides a unique means to probe the multidimensional potential energy surface of small ion−water clusters. In this study, we combine the MB-nrg potential energy functions recently developed for ion−water interactions with perturbative corrections to vibrational self-consistent field theory and the local-monomer approximation to disentangle many-body effects on the stability and vibrational structure of the Cs+(H2O)3 cluster. Since several low-energy, thermodynamically accessible isomers exist for Cs+(H2O)3, even small changes in the description of the underlying potential energy surface can result in large differences in the relative stability of the various isomers. Our analysis demonstrates that a quantitative account for three-body energies and explicit treatment of cross-monomer vibrational couplings are required to reproduce the experimental spectrum. </p> </div> </div> </div>
