Journal of Cluster Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Small hydrogen-bonded water clusters have received much attention and are the subject of both theoretical and chemical research. The crystalline molecular host provides an environment for the stabilization of various topologies of water clusters. The present article deals with (H2O) n clusters, identified/observed crystallographically in respective crystalline hydrates. The structural details of water decamers, octamers, hexamers, tetramers, and dimers are described systematically.
