Theoretical study of the calcium dication hydrates

Abstract

Ab initio SCF calculations have been carried out for calcium dication surrounded by 1–4 or 6 water molecules using several basis sets. The structure of the hydrated ions is examined and the hydration energy estimated. The changes in the structure of water within the complex are qualitatively explained in terms of charge transfer and coulombic interactions among the atoms. Finally, the influence of electron correlations is discussed.
