Hybrid quantum and classical mechanical Monte Carlo simulations of the interaction of hydrogen chloride with solid water clusters

Monte Carlo simulations using a hybrid quantum and classical mechanical potential were performed for crystal and amorphous-like HCl(H2O)n clusters (n≤24). The subsystem composed by HCl and one water molecule was treated within density functional theory and a classical force field was used for the re...

Kohanoff, J. Laria, D.H. Weht, R.O. Monte Carlo simulations using a hybrid quantum and classical mechanical potential were performed for crystal and amorphous-like HCl(H2O)n clusters (n≤24). The subsystem composed by HCl and one water molecule was treated within density functional theory and a classical force field was used for the rest of the system. Simulations performed at 200 K suggest that the energetic feasibility of HCl dissociation strongly depends on its initial placement within the cluster. An important degree of ionization occurs only if HCl is incorporated into the surface. We observe that local melting does not play a crucial role in the ionization process.
