Abstract
The geometrical parameters, normal vibration frequencies, and thermochemical characteristics of the Na2Cl+, NaCl −2 , Na3Cl +2 , and Na2Cl −3 ions in saturated vapors over sodium chloride were calculated by the ab initio methods including electron correlation. According to calculations, the Na2Cl+ and NaCl −2 triatomic ions have a linear equilibrium D ∞h configuration. The pentaatomic ions can exist in the form of the D ∞h linear isomer, C 2v planar cyclic isomer, or D 3h bipyramidal isomer. At ∼1000 K the Na3Cl +2 and Na2Cl −3 ions exist predominantly in the form of the linear isomers. The energies and enthalpies of the ion-molecule reactions involving the above ions were calculated. The formation enthalpy of the ions Δf H 0(0 K) was determined: 230 ± 2 kJ/mol (Na2Cl+), −96 ± 4 kJ/mol (Na2Cl −3 ), −616 ± 2 kJ/mol (NaCl −2 ), and −935 ± 4 kJ/mol (Na2Cl −3 ).
