✦ Synopsis

Density functional theory calculations were performed for the title reactions to elucidate the difference between the strong cyclic hydrogen bond of (Me-COOH)(2) and the electrolytic dissociation, MeCOOH <==> Me-COO(-) + H(+), as a weak acid. The association of water clusters with acetic acid dimers strengthens the cyclic hydrogen bond. A nucleophilic attack of the carboxylic carbon by a water cluster leads to a first zwitterionic intermediate, MeCOO(-) + H(3)O(+) + (HO)(3)C-Me. The intermediate is unstable and is isomerized to a neutral interacting system, MeCOOH...(HO)(3)C-Me + H(2)O. The ethanetriol, (HO)(3)-CMe is transformed to an acetic acid monomer. The monomer may be dissociated to give a second zwitterionic intermediate with reasonable proton-relay patterns and energy changes. In proton relay reaction channels, H in MeCOOH is not an acidic proton but is always a hydroxy proton.

## Abstract We have shown previously that the N‐methylpridyl group vibrations of water‐soluble porphyrins, M(TMpy‐P4), are shifted to lower frequencies (0.5–2.6 cm^−1^) as a result of coulombic interaction between the N^+^‐CH~3~ group of M(TMpy‐P4) and the PO~2~ group of a nucleic acid. We have now
