On the Quantum Nature of the Shared Proton in Hydrogen Bonds

Tuckerman, Mark E., Marx, Dominik, Klein, Michael L., Parrinello, Michele·1997·Science

Abstract

The relative influence of thermal and quantum fluctuations on the proton transfer properties of the charged water complexes H 5 O 2 + and H 3 O 2 − was investigated with the use of ab initio techniques. These small systems can be considered as prototypical representatives of strong and intermediate-strength hydrogen bonds. The shared proton in the strongly hydrogen bonded H 5 O 2 + behaved in an essentially classical manner, whereas in the H 3 O 2 − low-barrier hydrogen bond, quantum zero-point motion played a crucial role even at room temperature. This behavior can be traced back to a small difference in the oxygen-oxygen separation and hence to the strength of the hydrogen bond.

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.
