Characterization of the primary hydration shell of the hydroxide ion with H2 tagging vibrational spectroscopy of the OH− ⋅ (H2O)n=2,3 and OD− ⋅ (D2O)n=2,3 clusters

Abstract: We report the isotope-dependent vibrational predissociation spectra of the H-tagged OH ⋅ (HO) clusters, from which we determine the strongly coordination-dependent energies of the fundamentals due to the OH groups bound to the ion and the intramolecular bending modes of the water molecules. The HOH bending fundamental is completely missing in the delocalized OH ⋅ (HO) binary complex but is recovered upon adding the second water molecule, thereby establishing that the dihydrate behaves as a hydroxide ion solvat… Show more

“…2,3 To approach the structure of the primary hydration shell of ions, infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy has been successfully applied. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The hydroxide ion (OH À ) is an essential ionic species in aqueous chemistry and its microscopic hydration has been studied in numerous reactivity 12,13 and spectroscopy 7,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] experiments, mainly elucidating the structure of clusters. Infrared (IR) spectra exhibit broad absorption features that were assigned to rapid fluctuation of isomeric structures.…”

“…We note that the asymmetric doublet in the HEMIm + spectrum near 3650 cm –1 arises from attachment of the N 2 tag (* in Figure c) to the free OH group, as discussed further in the SI (Figure S1). The red-shifted bands (A 1 –A 4 ) in the (2,1) spectrum occur in the region corresponding to fundamentals of OH groups that strongly interact with anionic domains. , The picture that emerges from qualitative behavior of the ring CH and OH stretching bands is therefore that at least one of these two groups (available from the two cations) is strongly interacting with the anion. Moreover, the plethora of transitions in the OH stretching region raises the specter that different isomers may contribute to the pattern (as opposed to reflecting strong anharmonic coupling, which is also known to result in soft mode progressions built on OH stretching fundamentals).…”

“…Given this relatively straightforward assignment scheme, however, the observation of a strong doublet (b 8a and b 8b ) in the 3D isotopologue is unexpected (Figure 2f), as anharmonic fundamentals in this energy range typically follow an approximate scaling of 1/1.23 upon deuteration without a significant change in the overall band contour. 39,40 Such mass-dependent spectral complexities can arise, however, when modes couple as they become close in energy (e.g., Fermi resonances 41 ). To understand the behavior of the 3D-D 2 spectrum, we extended these calculations to 3D using the same PES and dipole surfaces as those used for 3H, with the result presented in Figure 2d.…”
