Fig. 6.3 104-105<br />
Calculated scaled IR spectra at BHHLYP/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory for (A) free<br />
NH 3 molecule, and for the ammoniated cluster, K.nNH 3<br />
(n=1-3), (B) K.NH 3 ; (C)<br />
K.2NH 3 ; (D) K.3NH 3 . Calculated scaled weighted average IR spectra at same level for<br />
the ammoniated cluster, K.nNH 3 (n=4-6), (E) K.4NH 3 ; (F) K.5NH 3 ; (G) K.6NH 3 . The<br />
scaling factor is taken as 0.93 to account the anharmonic nature of vibrations. The weight<br />
factor is calculated based on statistical population of individual conformer at 150 K.<br />
Lorentzian line shape has been considered with peak half-width of 20 cm -1 for all the IR<br />
plots.<br />

Fully optimized global minimum energy structures calculated at BHHLYP/6-311+G(d)<br />
level of theory for (A) I 2•¯.CO 2 , (B) I 2•¯.2CO 2 , (C) I 2•¯.3CO 2 , (D) I 2•¯.4CO 2 , (E)<br />
I 2•¯.5CO 2 , (F) I 2•¯.6CO 2 , (G) I 2•¯.7CO 2 , (H) I 2•¯.8CO 2 , (I) I 2•¯.9CO 2 and (J) I 2•¯.10CO 2<br />
clusters (I atom is treated by 6-311G(d) basis set). I atoms are shown by the largest violet<br />
spheres, the grey spheres correspond to C atoms and the red spheres refer to O atoms of<br />
solvent CO 2 units in each structure of the solvated cluster. In each case, the distance<br />
between the two I atoms is ~ 3.3 –3.0 Å, the distance between C and I atoms is ~ 3.9-<br />
4.9Å.<br />
