Abstract:

A molecular dynamics simulation of a 1.1 molal aqueous solution of BeCl2 with a newly developed three-body potential for the Be2+H2O interactions has been performed. A strongly pronounced first hydration shell has been found with a hydration number of four, in agreement with experimental data. The existence of a second hydration shell is demonstrated. The relationship between hydration number and ion size is discussed.
