Abstract

Recent far-infrared vibration-rotation tunneling (FIR-VRT) experiments pose new challenges to theory because the interpretation and prediction of such spectra requires a detailed understanding of the potential energy surface (PES) away from minima. In particular we need a global description of the PES in terms of a complete reaction graph. Hence all the transition states and associated mechanisms which might give rise to observable tunneling splittings must be characterized. It may be possible to guess the detailed permutations of atoms from the transition state alone, but experience suggests this is unwise. In this contribution a brief overview of the issues involved in treating the large amplitude motions of such systems will be given, with references to more detailed discussions and some specific examples. In particular we will consider the effective molecular symmetry group, the classification of rearrangement mechanisms, the location of minima and transition states and the calculation of reaction pathways. The application of these theories to small water clusters ranging from water dimer to water hexamer will then be considered. More details can be found in recent reviews.
小水团中的重排和隧道分裂
最近的远红外振动-旋转隧道(FIR-VRT)实验对理论提出了新的挑战,因为这种光谱的解释和预测需要详细了解远离最小值的势能面(PES)。特别地,我们需要一个完整反应图对PES的全局描述。因此,所有可能引起可观测的隧道分裂的过渡态和相关机制必须被表征。仅从跃迁态就可以猜测出原子的详细排列,但经验表明这是不明智的。在这篇文章中,将简要概述处理这种系统的大振幅运动所涉及的问题,并参考更详细的讨论和一些具体的例子。特别地,我们将考虑有效的分子对称群,重排机制的分类,最小态和过渡态的位置以及反应路径的计算。然后将考虑这些理论在水二聚体到水六聚体的小水团簇中的应用。更多细节可以在最近的评论中找到。
