Because the electronic energy of the state is almost ten times the cluster binding energy, it is unlikely that termolecular formation of O4 proceeds directly from 02(a n ). A more likely role for the state is the production of e parity label states of ) (i.e., J -S = odd) from the energy transfer reaction,...

To complete the RRKM calculations for the cluster dissociation rates and final bare 4EA molecule product distributions, the cluster binding energy E0 and the energy v of the chromophore vibrational state to be populated must be found. These can be estimated from selected fits to the experimental rates and intensities (Hineman et al. 1993a). The results of the rate and product distribution calculations are presented in Table 5-4. The predictions of the model are quite good—less than 30% error for all observations for the 4EA(N2)1 and 4EA(CH4), clusters.

Electron correlation effects contribute considerably to the stability of clusters. Binding energies per atom of neutral and charged species exhibit even-odd oscillations with larger values for clusters with an even number of valence electrons. Consequently the ground-state properties such as ionization potentials and electron affinities do not change smoothly with the cluster size [6]. 

The theoretical determination of cluster stability requires some care. The HF method severely underestimates the cluster binding energy. Correlation accounts for about 50 % of the stability in Li clusters and 90 % of the stability in Na and K clusters. [25] This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to treat larger aggregates (especially of transition metals) by means of wavefunction based methods. Alternatives are provided by density functional methods or, with some caution, by well...

Abstract A new methodology is proposed in which large basis set MP2-level calculations can be extended to water clusters with as many as 50 monomers. The computationally prohibitive scaling of traditional MP2 calculations is avoided by the use of an w-body decomposition (NBD) description of the cluster binding energy. The computational efficiency of the NBD approach is demonstrated by the application of the method in a Monte Carlo simulation of (H20)6. Future development will fnrther permit accnrate MP2 calculations on clusters as large as (H20)so. 

The use of the double expansion (Sect. 3.3) in the description of the electron correlation and the orbital basis set allows for the accurate computation of water cluster binding energies. These are important data, which are currently not available experimentally, and can be used to assess the accuracy of interaction potentials for water. Table 2 shows a comparison between the MP2 and CCSD(T) binding energies obtained with the aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets for the D2d isomer of the water octamer [104]. We note that the difference between the MP2 and CCSD(T) binding energies for this cluster for each basis set is <0.1 kcal/mol. This result, together with additional calculations on medium size (n = 3-6) clusters [105,106], sug-...
