Abstract
⺠We report the structure and energetics of hydrated cluster of Sr2+(H2O)n (n = 1-24) at DFT and MP2 level of theories. ⺠MD simulation was conducted to predict the CN and EXAFS spectra. ⺠The quantum results suggest a CN of 8 for the first hydration shell of Sr2+, in agreement with XAFS. ⺠The theoretical Sr2+-O bond distance is in excellent agreement with the EXAFS data. ⺠MD-EXAFS and CN analysis reveals that the TIP4P-2005 model is superior water model in predicting EXAFS spectra.
