Abstract

How waterlike are ionic water clusters? Clusters with 10 to 100 water molecules are frequently used as model systems for reactions in aqueous solution. Concerted proton transfer, a key feature of liquid water, can be probed by observing the formation of HDO when D₂O is used as a reactant (see scheme). Mass spectrometry shows that proton transfer occurs in H(H₂O)_n⁺, whereas the individual water molecules stay intact in (H₂O)_n^- and O ₂(H₂O)_n^-. (Figure Presented)
