We have investigated the structure, adsorption, electronic states, and charge transfer of small water aggregates on the surface of a graphene layer using density functional theory. Our calculations were focused on water ...

A density functional mPW1PW91 study of the most stable conformers of MOH(H2O)0–3 clusters (M = alkali or alkaline-earth atom) was performed, along with quantum chemistry CCSD(T,Full) calculations for M = Li and Be. The ...

We report the synthesis, for the first time, of small, highly monodisperse Cu5 clusters in water without any surfactant or protective agent. For this purpose, we used a new approach based on the kinetic control of the ...

This paper reports a novel procedure using nanosomes, made of bola-hydroxyl and mercapto-palmitic acids, for the production of gold clusters with robust luminescent emissions and very large Stokes shifts. It shows that ...

The ionization energies (IEe´s) of small BaOH(H2O)m clusters (m = 1-3), as generated in a laser vaporization-supersonic expansion source have been determined by laser photoionization experiments over the 3.65?4.55 eV energy ...

We report that planulae produced by Tubastraea coccinea can metamorphose and aggregate in groups of up to eight polyps in the water column, without previous settlement on benthic substrate. We also evaluated the survival ...

What would be the effects on the nature of hydrogen bonds, on the energies, and on the overall structural possibilities of replacing some hydrogen atoms by small hydrophobic groups in small water networks? Aiming at ...
