Theoretical study on the structure and stability of neutral and cationic butanone clusters

摘要

The molecular clusters have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their applications in areas of laser, synchrotron radiation, molecular beam and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The cluster structures can be speculated by the mass spectrum measurement and predicted by the quantum chemical methods. It is very important for understanding the solvation kinetics and nucleation to explore the formation and growth of clusters. Meanwhile, it is also beneficial to understanding the atomic or intermolecular interactions in the clusters.
