Abstract

In the present study the behavior of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with ethylenediamine and 2,2′:6′,2′′ terpyridine in an aqueous environment was studied by classical MD simulations. Special attention was paid to the effect of Cu2+ for Zn2+ substitution on complex water surroundings and mobility. The replacement of a metal ion affects the structure of the complex water environment only in the vicinity of its location. However, it changes such a characteristic as the lifetime of a water molecule in the first coordination shell of a metal which can significantly affect the mobility of the complex. Moreover, the degree of influence on translational and rotational mobility can be different.
