Isolated hydrated clusters of chiral R(+)-1-phenyl-1-propanol have been stu
died in a supersonic molecular beam by means of one- and two-color resonant
two-photon ionization mass-resolved spectroscopy. Excitation and threshold
ionization spectra have been determined for monohydrated clusters together
with the electronic ground state binding energy. Cluster spectra have been
analyzed with the aid of ab initio molecular orbital calculations conducte
d at the B3LYP/6-31G** level of the theory. The analysis gives information
on the cluster structures and the binding energies. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien
