Abstract
A single sodium chloride molecule in aqueous solution was simulated by the ab initio quantum mechanical charge field-molecular dynamics (QMCF-MD) approach. During a series of simulations the solvated molecule (CIP), dissociated solvated ions and - most noticeably - a solvent separated ion pair (SSIP) were observed and the structural and dynamical characteristics of these systems were investigated. In addition to a detailed structural analysis of the observed species, vibrational spectra and charge distributions were calculated to elucidate the mechanism of the NaCl dissociation.
