and Raman spectroscopic studies is also interesting to study the microsolvation of I •− 2 in CO 2 . In what follows, a systematic theoretical study on structure, energetics (solvent stabilization, interaction and vertical detachment energy) and spectra (both IR and Raman) of I •− 2 .nCO 2 clusters (n=1-10) is presented to elucidate the effect of microsolvation in this chapter. 7.2. Theoretical Approach It is reported in the literature that BHHLYP functional performs well to describe such open shell doublet systems. 43-44 Energy parameters are further improved by single point energy calculations applying second order Moller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory adopting 6-311+G(d) basis sets. Quasi Newton Raphson based algorithm as well as Monte Carlo based simulated annealing procedures have been applied with the effective fragment solvent CO 2 molecules to find out the global minimum energy structure of different size molecular clusters. 36 Hessian calculations have been performed for all the optimized minimum energy structures to check the nature of the equilibrium geometry and to generate IR spectrum. Raman spectrum is also calculated for all the clusters. Basis sets 6-311G(d) for I is obtained from the Extensible Computational Chemistry Environment Basis Set Database, Pacific Northwest <strong>National</strong> Laboratory. 7.3. Results and Discussions 7.3.1. Structure It is observed that, in this system the conformers of a particular size of cluster is very close in energy (within 0.3 kcal/mol) and have near equal statistical contribution. 108
Thus Monte Carlo based simulated annealing procedure is applied to find out the global minimum energy structures. The most stable structure of mono solvated cluster, I •− 2 .CO 2 calculated at BHHLYP level of theory is shown in Fig. 7.1(A). It is interesting to note that the CO 2 moiety in the cluster is near perpendicular to I…I axis in the most stable structure. It is to be noted that an initial guess structure where the CO 2 moiety is parallel to I…I axis is also considered. However, geometry optimization leads to the same structure as shown in Fig. 7.1(A). It is clearly observed from Fig. 7.1(A) that the geometry of solvent CO 2 unit in the cluster is slightly distorted form isolated CO 2 structure in presence of I •− 2 system. Free CO 2 is having D αh point group with r CO = 1.14 Å and
