A view of acidic proton transport emerges in vibrational spectra deuterated water clusters bound to a succession bases.
The properties of hydrogen ions in aqueous solution are governed by the ability water to incorporate a dynamical bond network, characterized structural variability that has complicated development consistent molecular level description H+(aq). Isolated protonated clusters, H+(H2O)n, serve as finite model systems for H+(aq), which amenable highly sensitive and selective gas phase spectroscopic techniques.
