Abstract
AbstractThe spin component scale MP2/molecular mechanics molecular dynamics simulation investigated the hydration shell formation and hydrated Cd2+ dynamics in the water environment. At the first hydration shell, six water molecules with 2.27 Å for the average distance between water and Cd2+. Dynamical properties were analyzed by computing the water molecule's mean residence time (MRT) in its first and second hydration shells. The MRT of each shell was determined to be 31.8 and 1.92 ps, suggesting the strong influence of Cd2+ in the first hydration shell. The second shell was labile, with an average number of water molecules being 18. Despite the strong interaction between Cd2+ and water molecules in the first shell, the influence of ions in the second hydration shell remained weak.
