Photoionization-induced water migration in thetrans-formanilide–water 1:1 cluster, FA-(H2O)1, has been investigated by using IR-dip spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculations, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. In the S0state, FA-(H2O)1has two structural isomers, FA(NH)-(H2O)1and FA(CO)-(H2O)1, where a water molecule is hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) to the NH group and the CO group, respectively. In addition, the S1–S0origin transition of FA(CO)-(H2O)2, where a water dimer is H-bonded to the CO group, was observed only in the [FA-(H2O)1]+mass channel, indicating that one of the water molecules evaporates completely in the D0state. These results are consistent with a previous report [Robertson, E. G.Chem. Phys. Lett.,2000,325, 299]. In the D0state, however, [FA-(H2O)1]+produced by photoionization via the S1–S0origin transitions of FA(NH)-(H2O)1and FA(CO)-(H2O)1shows essentially the same IR spectra. Compared with the theoretical calculations, [FA-(H2O)1]+can be assigned to [FA(NH)-(H2O)1]+. This means that the water molecule in [FA-(H2O)1]+migrates from the CO group to the NH group when [FA-(H2O)1]+is produced by photoionization of FA(CO)-(H2O)1. [FA-(H2O)1]+produced by photoionization of FA(CO)-(H2O)2also shows the IR spectrum corresponding to [FA(NH)-(H2O)1]+. In this case, the water migration from the CO group to the NH group occurs with the evaporation of a water molecule. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations revealed the water migration pathway in [FA-(H2O)1]+. The calculations of classical electrostatic interactions show that charge-dipole interaction between FA+and H2O induces an initial structural change in [FA-(H2O)1]+. An exchange repulsion between the lone pairs of the CO group and H2O in [FA-(H2O)1]+also affects the initial direction of the water migration. These two factors play important roles in determining the initial water migration pathway.
