Abstract
Infrared (IR) photodissociation spectra of aniline(H 2O) n + (n = 7-12) clusters in the region of 2800-3900 cm -1 have been explicitly analyzed to elucidate their structures and structural strains in hydrogen bonding networks. Due to the potential barrier between anilide radical and hydrated water clusters (n = 7-12), our experimental and theoretical results suggest that there is no proton-transferred structure in n = 7-12 cluster. The spectroscopic results, combined with DFT calculations show a clear systematic change in hydrogen-bonded topology from a multiple-ring to a cage-like topology as their size increases from n = 7 to 12.
