Description: |
The structural and thermodynamic properties of Na+(CH3CN)n, I-(CH3CN)n, and NaI(CH3CN)n clusters have been investigated by means of room-temperature Monte Carlo simulations with model potentials developed to reproduce the properties of small clusters predicted by quantum chemistry. Ions are found to adopt an interior solvation shell structure, with a first solvation shell containing approximately 6 and approximately 8 acetonitrile molecules for large Na+(CH3CN)n and I-(CH3CN)n clusters,... |
