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 />
