The [(CO2)n(H2O)]−cluster anions are studied using infrared photodissociation (IPD) spectroscopy in the 2800−3800 cm−1range. The observed IPD spectra display a drastic change in the vibrational band features atn= 4, indicating a sharp discontinuity in the structural evolution of the monohydrated cluster anions. Then= 2 and 3 spectra are composed of a series of sharp bands around 3600 cm−1, which are assignable to the stretching vibrations of H2O bound to C2O4−in a double ionic hydrogen-bonding (DIHB) configuration, as was previously discussed (J. Chem. Phys.2005,122, 094303). In then≥ 4 spectrum, a pair of intense bands additionally appears at ≈3300 cm−1. With the aid of ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-31+G* level, the 3300 cm−1bands are assigned to the bending overtone and the hydrogen-bonded OH vibration of H2O bound to CO2−via a single O−H···O linkage. Thus, the structures of [(CO2)n(H2O)]−evolve with cluster size such that DIHB to C2O4−is favored in the smaller clusters withn= 2 and 3 whereas CO2−is preferentially stabilized via the formation of a single ionic hydrogen-bonding (SIHB) configuration in the larger clusters withn≥ 4.
