“…The putative GM for n = 10, 16, 22, 24 and 26 can be identified as "magic number" structures, stable relative to similar-sized clusters, corresponding to positive values of ∆ 2 U. Figures 1 and 2 reveal that these structures contain a large number of closed cube or pentagonal-prism water units, which are common motifs in pure water clusters [17], and confer stability at these sizes, with the thiocyanate ion often occupying an edge of the cluster polyhedron. We observe alternating even-odd behaviour in stability for n ≤ 10 and 22 ≤ n ≤ 34, with structures containing even numbers of water molecules being more stable.…”

“…We employed the 'basinhopping' or Monte Carlo minimization [35] technique which has recently been investigated for a variety of atomic and molecular clusters [8,[36][37][38][39][40][41] Canonical Monte Carlo (MC) sampling was used to explore the transformed PES, as described elsewhere [8,36]. For the C+BM potential five runs of 5000 MC steps were performed for every cluster size with each run starting from a random point.…”

“…The procedure is simple to implement and has proved effective in a variety of applications. 7,9,15,16,28 The present work explores another class of minimization strategies. Broadly speaking, the approach is a potential modification technique that combines elements of both basinhopping and dimensional-relaxation strategies.…”
