. the 6-311G d, p basis set in the interval of 1.75 kcalrmol above the global minimum represent an unprecedented wide range of conformational plasticity of liquid water. The present work also provides the first ab initio demonstration of the existence of pentacoordinated water clusters of an orientational defect type and elaborates their properties.
