Concerted Hydrogen-Bond Dynamics in the Transport Mechanism of the Hydrated Proton: A First-Principles Molecular Dynamics Study

Berkelbach, Timothy C., Lee, Hee-Seung, Tuckerman, Mark E.·2009·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

First-principles molecular dynamics calculations performed in a fully converged basis set are used to reveal new details about the mechanism of the anomalous proton-transport process in water, a fundamental question dating back over 200 years. By separating actual structural diffusion from simple rattling events, wherein a proton shuttles forth and back in a hydrogen bond, it is found that the former are driven by a concerted mechanism in which hydronium begins to accept a hydrogen bond from a donor water molecule while the proton-receiving water molecule simultaneously loses one of its acceptor hydrogen bonds. The kinetics of the process are found to be in good agreement with recent experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
