Abstract

By utilizing density functional theory (DFT) method, we systematically studied the structural evolutions of (C5H5N)m(C2H5OH)n (m = 0–4; n = 0–4; m + n ≤ 4) molecular clusters under external electric fields. The dipole moments, cluster radii, and RMSDs of the molecular clusters have been provided. The results reveal that the variations of their dipole moments and cluster radii are closely related to their dielectric properties, and the intensity and directions of electric fields contribute to their structural evolutions. When the directions or intensity of the electric field are changed, there are some binary molecular clusters in pyridine-ethanol mixtures, which exhibits less stable than the pure clusters.
