1.9-2.1 Å (WHB bond). It is also observed that the nature of σ type hemi bond (2c-3e)<br />

between two Cl atoms is remaining same as in case bare Cl 2 •− . These observations are<br />

also similar for hemi bonded Br 2 •− .nH 2 O and I 2 •− .nH 2 O clusters.<br />

(G) CO 3•¯.7H 2 O and (H) CO 3•¯.8H 2 O. C atoms are shown by the grey colour spheres, the smallest spheres<br />

refer to H atoms and the rest corresponds to O atoms in each structure shown in the figure. Yellow colour<br />

spheres refer to the carbonate O atoms and rest (red in colour) for water O atoms.<br />
