Computational Study of Catechol-(H?O)?(n=1-3) Clusters

Abstract: Computations are presented for the catechol-(H2O)n (n = 1-3) clusters. A variety of conformers are predicted, and their relative energies are compared. Binding energies of the clusters are computed, and detailed analysis is presented on the harmonic frequencies of stretching modes involving the hydrogen bonding in the clusters, comparing with the experimental observations.

“…The solid line in Figure 5 represents the fit to the experimental data according to the following empirical equation that describes the catechol rate coefficient with ozone for RH between 1 and 60%: We suggest that this effect of RH on the ozone rate coefficient of catechol could be attributed to intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the two hydroxyl (OH) groups of catechol and water molecules. 33,34 Indeed, it has been shown through theoretical calculations that the hydroxyl groups in catechol can interact with water molecules via intermolecular hydrogen bonds forming cyclic catechol−H 2 O complexes. 34 Several isomers may account for the configuration of these catechol− H 2 O clusters both in aqueous solution and in the gas phase.…”
