Abstract

Description

The dynamics and infrared absorption spectrum of the protonated water dimer are reported by full quantum simulation. Strong couplings between the spectroscopically active proton-transfer motion and low-frequency, large-amplitude torsional modes are clearly identified and their role in the cluster dynamics is explained. These couplings are responsible for the characteristic doublet-peak around 1000 cm-1, which was not understood and subject of debate. This spectral feature is reproduced, assigned and explained.
