โฆ Synopsis
The potential energy surfaces for the proton transfer processes in H+(H20), with n = 2 -11 have been studied using the semiempirical AM^ method. Two model systems were adopted branched and linear systems. The branched system showed a tendency to form a bulk cluster, while the linear system showed a tendency toward a constant barrier height with increasing number of water molecules in the model system. The potential energy surfaces were discussed using Marcus theory. In the case of H+(H20), with n = 10 and 11, the intrinsic barrier to the proton transfer was found to be around 1.0 kcal/mol.
