Title: Proton-coupled electron transfer in [pyridine·(H2O)n], n = 3, 4, clusters

Abstract

The equation-of-motion method is used to map out one-dimensional potentials for proton coupled electron transfer in the [pyridine • (H2O)n], n = 3, 4, clusters. In both cases there is an avoided crossing between valence-type pyridinyl •(OH) (H2O)n-1 and dipole–bound pyridine • (H2O)n anion species. Here, for the n = 3 cluster, the mixing is sufficiently strong that both limiting structures are predicted to be sampled in the vibrational zero-point level.
