Abstract
The ion clusters H +(CH 3OH) n ( n = 1–4) and H +[(CH 3) 2O] n ( n = 1–3) are investigated by means of SCF computations with the 4–31G basis set. The H +(CH 3OH) n cluster is found to be enlarged in the zigzag form by successive terminal attacks through enhanced hydrogen bonding, but the four methyl groups of H +[(CH 3) 2O] 2 block the approach of a third dimethyl ether toward the proton causing the small binding energy of [(CH 3) 2O] 2H +⋯O(CH 3) 2.
