Abstract
Water monomer and dimer encapsulations into D2 (22)-C84 fullerene are evaluated. The encapsulation energy is computed at the M06-2X/6-31++G** level, and it is found that the monomer and dimer storage in C84 yields an energy gain of 10.7 and 17.4 kcal mol(-1) , respectively. Encapsulation equilibrium constants are computed by using partition functions based on the M06-2X/6-31G** and M06-2X/6-31++G** molecular data. Under high-temperature/high-pressure conditions, similar to that for the encapsulation of rare gases in fullerenes, the computed (H2 O)2 @C84 -to-H2 O@C84 ratio is close to 1:2.
