at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The weight factor is calculated based on Boltzmann population<br />
at 100K. Lorentzian line shape has been applied with peak half-width of 10 cm -1 .<br />
It is observed that the IR spectra of each clusters, X. nH 2 O (X= Cl 2 •− , Br 2 •− , I 2 •− ,<br />
CO 3 •− , NO 3<br />

and CO 3 2− ) are characterized by large shift of O-H (~300 cm -1 ) stretching<br />
