Computer simulation study of HNO 3 dissociation in aqueous clusters
Hybrid quantum-classical molecular-dynamics simulations were performed for the dissociation process of HNO3 in aqueous clusters containing up to n=124 water molecules. By circumscribing the HNO3 and one water molecule within the quantum region, no dissociation was observed, even for the largest clus...

Hybrid quantum-classical molecular-dynamics simulations were performed for the dissociation process of HNO3 in aqueous clusters containing up to n=124 water molecules.

Incorporation of two additional water molecules into the quantum sub-system was necessary to observe the proton transfer. Ionic dissociation takes place for n=124 and n=10, but not for the n=3 case, confirming that the threshold cluster size for dissociation is intermediate between the last two values. |
