Molecular dynamics simulations of clusters of Li q and Be 2q cations with up to 12 water molecules were performed calculating the particle trajectories using Hartree᎐Fock-derived forces. It was found that independent of the starting configuration tetrahedral clusters are obtained in less than 1 ps.

✦ Synopsis
A molecular dynamics study of the influence of ion charge on hydrated-hydrolyzed structure and dynamical properties of multivalent cations in aqueous solutions is discussed. Such a study based on a model of primitive cation M Z+ in water was introduced by us in previous papers. Our investigation demonstrates a wide variety of hydrated-hydrolyzed forms of primitive cation, including aquo, hydroxo-aquo, hydroxo, oxohydroxo and oxo forms. The transition between these forms is defined by a value of cation charge. The influence of cation hydrolysis effects on self-diffusion coefficients and spectral densities of hindered translation motions of primitive cations and oxygens in first hydration shells of these cations is investigated and discussed.
