Abstract: ab initio geometry optimizations were performed on the (H2O)(n=1,2) system.Subsequent geometry optimizing calculations and analysis of frequencies had shown that the water dimer cation in the equilibrium structure could be regarded as a complex between an oxonium ion H3O+ and a hydroxyl radical OH.The present geometry optimizations were performed by a gradient method included in the Gaussian-92 program. The optimized geometry of (H2O)+ at the MP2/6-311+G (d,p)level is in excellent agreement with the experiment results obtained by Dinelli.
