We employ the flexible RWK2 water potential ͓J. R. Reimers, R. O. Watts, and M. L. Klein, Chem. Phys. 64, 95 ͑1982͔͒ and the parametrization of a chloride-water interaction potential of Dorsett, Watts and Xantheas ͓J. Phys. Chem. A 103, 3351 ͑1999͔͒. We then investigate the temperature-dependent vibrational structure ͑infrared spectra͒. We find that the centroid molecular dynamics technique is capable of recovering a majority of the red shift associated with hydrogen bonding.
