Abstract
A hybrid ab initio QM/MM molecular dynamics simulation at the HartreeโFock level has been performed to investigate structural and dynamical parameters of the V^3+^ ion in dilute aqueous solution. A distorted octahedral structure with the average V^3+^โO distance of 1.99 ร is evaluated from the QM/MM simulation, which is in good agreement with the Xโray data. Several structural parameters such as angular distribution functions, ฮธโ and tiltโangle distributions have been determined to obtain the full description of the hydration structure of the hydrated V^3+^. The JahnโTeller distortions of the V^3+^ ion are pronounced in the QM/MM simulation. The mean residence time of 14.5 ps is estimated for the ligand exchange processes in the second hydration shell. ยฉ 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 2009
