摘要: The diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method is used to calculate the electron binding energies of two forms (H(2)O)(6)(-). It found that DMC method, when using either Hartree-Fock or density functional theory trial wave functions, gives in excellent agreement with results large basis set CCSD(T) calculations. This demonstrates will be a viable for characterizing larger (H(2)O)(n)(-) ions which calculations are not feasible.
