Abstract
Constructing the Hessian matrix (HM) for large molecules demands huge computational resources. Here, we report a cluster-in-cluster (CIC) procedure for efficiently evaluating HM and dipole derivatives for large molecular clusters by employing the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory. The highlight of the proposal is the separation of the estimations of Hartree-Fock (HF) and post-HF components. The parent cluster with n molecules is divided (virtually) into n subclusters centering each monomer and accommodating its near neighbors decided by a distance cutoff. The HF-level HM is obtained by doing full calculation (FC), while the correlation part is approximated by the respective subclusters. A software automating the procedure [followed by calculating infrared (IR) frequencies and intensities] is applied to deduce the IR spectrum for a variety of molecular clusters, particularly water clusters of various sizes, containing up to ∼2000 basis functions. The accuracy of the IR spectrum constructed using CIC is remarkable, with a substantial time advantage (with respect to its FC counterpart). The reduced computational resources and the tractability of the computations are other major benefits of the procedure.

Abstract
A novel Raman jet-spectrometer is used to study the Fermi resonance between the OH bending overtone and OH stretching fundamental in small cyclic water clusters (H2O)n with n = 3, 4, 5. The new setup features a recirculating vacuum system which reduces the gas consumption by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude and enables long-term measurements of very weak Raman signals. Raman spectra measured from highly diluted expansions with unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio are presented and cluster-specific intensity ratios and effective coupling constants are derived using Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo methods, yielding a high probability for an almost "perfect" resonance for the tetramer and pentamer, i.e. a close frequency match of bend overtone and stretch fundamental with intensity ratios close to 1, but a larger coupling constant for the trimer, with best estimates close to W5 ≲ 50 cm-1 < W4 ≲ 60 cm-1 < W3 ≈ 65 cm-1.

Abstract
The O-D stretch fundamental region of the deuterated water dimer, (D2O)2, is further studied using a pulsed supersonic slit jet and a tunable optical parametric oscillator infrared source. The previously unobserved acceptor symmetric O-D stretch fundamental vibration is detected, with Ka = 0 ← 0 and 1 ← 0 sub-bands at about 2669 and 2674 cm-1, respectively. The analysis indicates that the various water dimer tunneling splittings generally decrease in the excited vibrational state, similar to the three other previously observed O-D stretch fundamentals. Two new (D2O)2 combination bands are observed, giving information on intermolecular vibrations in the excited O-D stretch states. The likely vibrational assignments for these and a previously observed combination band are discussed.

Abstract
A procedure, derived from the fragmentation-based molecular tailoring approach (MTA), has been proposed and extensively applied by Deshmukh and Gadre for directly estimating the individual hydrogen bond (HB) energies and cooperativity contributions in molecular clusters. However, the manual fragmentation and high computational cost of correlated quantum chemical methods make the application of this method to large molecular clusters quite formidable. In this article, we report an in-house developed software for automated hydrogen bond energy estimation (H-BEE) in large molecular clusters. This user-friendly software is essentially written in Python and executed on a Linux platform with the Gaussian package at the backend. Two approximations to the MTA-based procedure, viz. the first spherical shell (SS1) and the Fragments-in-Fragments (Frags-in-Frags), enabling cost-effective, automated evaluation of HB energies and cooperativity contributions, are also implemented in this software. The software has been extensively tested on a variety of molecular clusters and is expected to be of immense use, especially in conjunction with correlated methods such as MP2, CCSD(T), and so forth.

Abstract
Competitive adsorption by water in zeolites is so strongly prevalent that established gravimetric techniques for quantification have assumed that humid CO2 has no effect on preadsorbed water at the same relative humidity. Here, we demonstrate sites in small-pore zeolite K-MER, in which CO2 adsorption causes 20% of preabsorbed water to desorb under equilibrium control at 30 °C and 5% relative humidity. Diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopic data demonstrate that dimeric water species that are coordinated to cationic sites in K-MER zeolite are selectively displaced by CO2 under these humid conditions. Though Cs-RHO contains more weakly bound water than K-MER, we observe a lack of dimeric water species and no evidence of CO2 outcompeting water in Cs-RHO. We conclude that the desorption of water by CO2 in K-MER is driven by a highly desired site for CO2 adsorption as opposed to an intrinsically weak binding of water to the zeolite. Our demonstration that CO2 can outcompete water in a zeolite under wet conditions introduces new opportunities for the design of selective sites for humid CO2 adsorption and stresses the importance of independently characterizing adsorbed water and CO2 in these systems.

Rock CA, Tschumper GS. Insight into the Binding of Argon to Cyclic Water Clusters from Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:17480.

Abstract
This work systematically examines the interactions between a single argon atom and the edges and faces of cyclic H2O clusters containing three-five water molecules (Ar(H2O)n=3-5). Full geometry optimizations and subsequent harmonic vibrational frequency computations were performed using MP2 with a triple-ζ correlation consistent basis set augmented with diffuse functions on the heavy atoms (cc-pVTZ for H and aug-cc-pVTZ for O and Ar; denoted as haTZ). Optimized structures and harmonic vibrational frequencies were also obtained with the two-body-many-body (2b:Mb) and three-body-many-body (3b:Mb) techniques; here, high-level CCSD(T) computations capture up through the two-body or three-body contributions from the many-body expansion, respectively, while less demanding MP2 computations recover all higher-order contributions. Five unique stationary points have been identified in which Ar binds to the cyclic water trimer, along with four for (H2O)4 and three for (H2O)5. To the best of our knowledge, eleven of these twelve structures have been characterized here for the first time. Ar consistently binds more strongly to the faces than the edges of the cyclic (H2O)n clusters, by as much as a factor of two. The 3b:Mb electronic energies computed with the haTZ basis set indicate that Ar binds to the faces of the water clusters by at least 3 kJ mol-1 and by nearly 6 kJ mol-1 for one Ar(H2O)5 complex. An analysis of the interaction energies for the different binding motifs based on symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) indicates that dispersion interactions are primarily responsible for the observed trends. The binding of a single Ar atom to a face of these cyclic water clusters can induce perturbations to the harmonic vibrational frequencies on the order of 5 cm-1 for some hydrogen-bonded OH stretching frequencies.

Abstract
The presence of water strongly influences structure, dynamics and properties of ion-containing soft matter. Yet, the hydration of such matter is not well understood. Here, we show through a large study of monovalent π-conjugated polyelectrolytes that their reversible hydration, up to several water molecules per ion pair, occurs chiefly at the interface between the ion clusters and the hydrophobic matrix without disrupting ion packing. This establishes the appropriate model to be surface hydration, not the often-assumed internal hydration of the ion clusters. Through detailed analysis of desorption energies and O-H vibrational frequencies, together with OPLS4 and DFT calculations, we have elucidated key binding motifs of the sorbed water. Type-I water, which desorbs below 50 °C, corresponds to hydrogen-bonded water clusters constituting secondary hydration. Type-II water, which typically desorbs over 50-150 °C, corresponds to water bound to the anion under the influence of a proximal cation, or to a cation‒anion pair, at the cluster surface. This constitutes primary hydration. Type-III water, which irreversibly desorbs beyond 150 °C, corresponds to water kinetically trapped between ions. Its amount varies strongly with processing and heat treatment. As a consequence, hygroscopicity-which is the water sorption capacity per ion pair-depends not only on the ions, but also their cluster morphology.

Abstract
The knowledge of individual hydrogen bond (HB) strength in molecular clusters is indispensable to get insights into the bulk properties of condensed systems. Recently, we have developed the molecular tailoring approach based (MTA-based) method for the estimation of individual HB energy in molecular clusters. However, the direct use of this MTA-based method to large molecular clusters becomes progressively difficult with the increase in the size of a cluster. To overcome this caveat, herein, we propose the use of linear scaling method (such as the original MTA method) for the estimation of single-point (SP) energies of large-sized parent molecular cluster and their respective fragments. Because the fragments of the MTA-based method, for the estimation of HB energy, are further fragmented, this proposed strategy is called as Fragments-in-Fragments (Frags-in-Frags) method. The SP energies of fragments and parent cluster calculated by the Frags-in-Frags approach were utilized to estimate the individual HB energy. The estimated individual HB energies, in various molecular clusters, by Frags-in-Frags method are found to be in excellent linear agreement with their MTA-based counterparts (R2 = 0.9975 of 348 data points). The difference being less than 0.5 kcal/mol in most of the cases. Furthermore, RMSD is 0.43 kcal/mol, MAE is 0.33 kcal/mol, and the standard deviation is 0.44 kcal/mol. Importantly, the Frags-in-Frags method not only enables the reliable estimation of HB energy in large molecular clusters but also requires less computational time and can be possible even with off-the-shelf hardware.

Abstract
The study of molecular clusters to understand the properties of condensed systems has been the subject of immense interest. To get insight into these properties, the knowledge of various noncovalent interactions present in these molecular clusters is indispensable. Our recently developed molecular tailoring approach-based (MTA-based) method for the estimation of the individual hydrogen bond (HB) energy in molecular clusters is useful for this purpose. However, the direct application of this MTA-based method becomes progressively difficult with the increase in the size of the cluster. This is because of the difficulty in the evaluation of single-point energy at the correlated level of theory. To overcome this caveat, herein, we propose a two-step method within the our own N-layer integrated molecular orbital molecular mechanics (ONIOM) framework. In this method, the HB energy evaluated by the MTA-based method employing the actual molecular cluster at a low Hartree-Fock (HF) level of theory is added to the difference in the HB energies evaluated by the MTA-based method, employing an appropriate small model system, called the shell-1 model, calculated at high (MP2) and low (HF) levels of theory. The shell-1 model of a large molecular cluster is made up of only a few molecules that are in direct contact (by a single HB) with the two molecules involved in the formation of an HB under consideration. We tested this proposed two-step ONIOM method to estimate the individual HB energies in various molecular clusters, viz., water (Wn, n = 10-16, 18 and 20), (H2O2)12, (H2O3)8, (NH3)n and strongly interacting (HF)15 and (HF)m(W)n clusters. Furthermore, these estimated individual HB energies by the ONIOM method are compared with those calculated by the MTA-based method using actual molecular clusters. The estimated individual HB energies by the ONIOM method, in all these clusters, are in excellent linear one-to-one agreement (R2 = 0.9996) with those calculated by the MTA-based method using actual molecular clusters. Furthermore, the small values of root-mean-square deviation (0.06), mean absolute error (0.04), |ΔEmax| (0.21) and Sε (0.06) suggest that this two-step ONIOM method is a pragmatic approach to provide accurate estimates of individual HB energies in large molecular clusters.

Abstract
2-Butanone offers two hydrogen bond docking variants to a solvating methanol which are cleanly separated by supersonic jet infrared absorption spectroscopy in the OH-stretching range, resolving earlier action spectroscopy indeterminacies for this elementary case of an intermolecular alcohol-ketone balance. The solvent preference for the shorter chain side is unambiguously derived from the spectra of homologous compounds. It is analysed in terms of competing steric and dispersion interactions and the resulting energy differences across a low interconversion barrier. Fortuitous cancellations are discussed and quantitative energy deficiencies of the employed DFT approaches are suggested. Some benchmarkable experimental observations: at low temperature, a single methanol molecule prefers the methyl-sided oxygen lone pair of 2-butanone over the ethyl-sided lone pair by 1-2 kJ mol-1, the trans butane backbone is conserved in both low-lying isomers, the OH-stretching fundamentals differ by 47(2) cm-1.

Abstract
A novel technique for performing fiber pigtailed DFB laser and linear Fabry-Pérot cavity based optical feedback cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (OF-CEAS) is proposed. A fiber-coupled electro-optic modulator (f-EOM) with x-cut y-propagation LiNbO3 waveguide is employed, instead of PZT used in traditional OF-CEAS, to correct the feedback phase, which improves the compactness and applicability of OF-CEAS. Through the efficient and real-time control of the feedback phase by actively changing the input voltage of the f-EOM, a good long-term stability of the signal has been achieved. Consequently, a detection sensitivity down to 7.8×10-10 cm-1, better than the previous by PZT based OF-CEAS, has been achieved over the integration time of 200 s, even by use of a cavity with moderate finesse of 2850.

Abstract
The vibrational spectroscopy of the water dimer provides an understanding of basic hydrogen bonding in water clusters, and with about one water dimer for every 1,000 water molecules, it plays a critical role in atmospheric science. Here, we review how the experimental and theoretical progress of the past decades has improved our understanding of water dimer vibrational spectroscopy under both cold and warm conditions. We focus on the intramolecular OH-stretching transitions of the donor unit, because these are the ones mostly affected by dimer formation and because their assignment has proven a challenge. We review cold experimental results from early matrix isolation to recent mass-selected jet expansion techniques and, in parallel, the improvements in the theoretical anharmonic models. We discuss and illustrate changes in the vibrational spectra of complexes upon increasing temperature, and the difficulties in recording and calculating these spectra. In the atmosphere, water dimer spectra at ambient temperature are crucial. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, Volume 73 is April 2022.

Abstract
Hydrophobic-like water monolayers have been predicted at the metal and some polar surfaces by theoretical simulations. However, direct experimental evidence for the presence of this water layer at surfaces, particularly at biomolecule and polymer surfaces, is yet to be validated at room temperature. Here we observe experimentally that an ordered molecular water layer is present at the hydrophobic fluorinated polymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface by using sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. The macroscopic hydrophobicity of PTFE surface is actually hydrophilic at the molecular level. The macroscopically hydrophobic character of PTFE is indeed resulting from the hydrophobicity of the ordered two-dimension (2D) water layer, in which cyclic water tetramer structure is found. The water layer at humidity of ≤40% has a vibrational relaxation time of 550 ± 60 fs. The vibrational relaxation time in the frequency range of 3200-3400 cm-1 shows remarkable difference from the interfacial water at the air/H2O interface and the lipid/H2O interface. No discernible frequency dependence of the vibrational relaxation time is observed, indicating the homogeneous dynamics of OH groups in the water layer. These insights into the water layer at the macroscopically hydrophobic surface may contribute to a better understanding of the hydrophobic interaction and interfacial water dynamics.

Abstract
Human breath contains a large amount of small volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and could therefore be used as a carrier of metabolic information for medical diagnostics. Still, in spite of several promising techniques that have been applied during the last decades to study breath content, there is a lack of breath-based diagnostic tools available for physicians. Among several promising techniques, infrared (IR) spectroscopy has already proved its potential for reliable detection of VOCs in the breath. However, due to the large dynamic range of molecular concentrations and overlapping absorption spectra of different VOCs, many low-absorption molecules stay hidden in spectroscopic measurements. To overcome this obstacle, we propose the Matryoshka method for removing masking effects and revealing the buried spectral structures in any bio-fluid in the gas phase. By exploiting both physical and digital removal steps, we demonstrate how the method reveals methane, acetone, aldehyde, and methyl butyrate in a real breath.

Abstract
The water hexamer has many low-lying isomers, e.g., ring, book, cage, and prism, shifting from two- to three-dimensional structures. We show that this dimensionality change is accompanied by a drop in the quantum nature of the cluster, as manifested in the red shift of the quantal OH stretching modes as compared with their classical counterparts. We obtain this "nuclear quantum effect" (NQE) as the mean deviation between the OH stretch frequencies from velocity autocorrelation Fourier transforms from classical trajectories on a high-level water potential (MB-pol) as compared with scaled harmonic frequencies from high-level quantum chemistry calculations. With a universal scaling factor, the predicted OH frequencies agree with experiment to a mean absolute deviation ≤10 cm-1, which allows unequivocal isomer assignments. By assuming temperature-independent NQEs, we produce the temperature dependence of the cage isomer OH stretch spectrum below 70 K, where it is the dominant structure. All bands widen and blue-shift with increasing temperature, most conspicuously the reddest mode, which thus constitutes a "vibrational thermometer".

Abstract
All important stationary points on the potential energy surface (PES) for the reaction OH + (H2O)3→ (H2O)2OH + H2O have been fully optimized using the "gold standard" CCSD(T) method with the large Dunning correlation-consistent cc-pVQZ basis sets. Three types of pathways were found. For the pathway without hydrogen abstraction, the barrier height of the transition state (TS1) is predicted to lie 5.9 kcal mol-1 below the reactants. The two major complexes (H2O)3OH (CP1 and CP2a) are found to lie 6.3 and 11.0 kcal mol-1, respectively, below the reactants [OH + (H2O)3]. For one of the H-abstraction pathways the lowest classical barrier height is predicted to be much higher, 6.1 kcal mol-1 (TS2a) above the reactants. For the other H-abstraction pathway the barrier height is even higher, 15.0 (TS3) kcal mol-1. Vibrational frequencies and the zero-point vibrational energies connected to the PES are also reported. The energy barriers for the H-abstraction pathways are compared with those for the OH + (H2O)2 and OH + H2O reactions, and the effects of the third water on the energetics are usually minor (0.2 kcal mol-1).

Abstract
The fundamental O-D stretch region (2600-2800 cm-1) of the fully deuterated water dimer (D2O)2 is studied using a pulsed supersonic slit jet source and a tunable optical parametric oscillator source. Relatively high spectral resolution (0.002 cm-1) enables all six dimer tunneling components to be observed, in most cases, for the acceptor asymmetric O-D stretch, the donor free O-D stretch, and the donor bound O-D stretch vibrations. The dominant acceptor switching tunneling splittings are observed to decrease moderately in the excited O-D stretch states, to roughly 75% of their ground state values, whereas the smaller donor-acceptor interchange splittings show more dramatic and irregular decreases. Excited state predissociation lifetimes, as determined from the observed line broadening, show large variations (0.2 ≤ τ ≤ 5 ns) depending on the vibrational state, K-value, and tunneling symmetry. Another very weak band is tentatively assigned to a combination mode involving an intramolecular O-D stretch plus an intermolecular twist overtone. Asymmetric O-D stretch bands of the mixed isotopologue dimers D2O-DOH and D2O-HOD are also observed and analyzed.

Abstract
An ion-mobility mass spectrometry study showed that the preferred O-protonated form of p-aminobenzoic in the gas phase can be converted to the thermodynamically less favored N-protomer by in-source collision-induced ion activation during the ion transfer process from the atmospheric region to the first vacuum region if the humidity is high in the ion source. Upon the addition of water vapor to the nitrogen gas used to promote the solid analyte to the gas phase under helium-plasma ionization conditions, the intensity of the ion-mobility arrival-time peak for the N-protomer increased dramatically. Evidently, the ion-activation process in the first vacuum region is able to provide the energy required to surmount the barrier to isomerize the O-protomer to the more energetic N-protomer. The transfer of the proton attached to the carbonyl oxygen atom of the O-protomer to the amino group takes place by a water-bridge mechanism. Apparently, the postionization transformations that take place during the transmission of ions from the atmospheric-pressure ion source to the detector, via different physical compartments of low to high vacuum, play an eminent role in determining the population ratios eventually manifested at the detector.

Abstract
The role of water vapor in transforming the thermodynamically preferred species of protonated benzocaine to the less favored protomer was investigated using helium-plasma ionization (HePI) in conjunction with ion-mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS). The IM arrival-time distribution (ATD) recorded from a neat benzocaine sample desorbed to the gas phase by a stream of dry nitrogen and ionized by HePI showed essentially one peak for the O-protonated species. However, when water vapor was introduced to the enclosed ion source, within a span of about 150 ms the ATD profile changed completely to one dominated by the N-protonated species. Under spray-based ionization conditions, the nature and composition of the solvents have been postulated to play a decisive role in defining the manifested protomer ratios. In reality, the solvent vapors present in the ion source (particularly the ambient humidity) indirectly dictate the gas-phase ratio of the protomers. Evidently, the gas-phase protomer ratio established at the confinement of the ions is readjusted by the ion-activation that takes place during the transmission of ions to the vacuum. Although it has been repeatedly stated that ions can retain a "memory" of their solution structures because they can be kinetically trapped, and thereby represent their solution-based stabilities, we show that the initial airborne ions can undergo significant transformations in the transit through the intermediate vacuum zones between the ion source and the mass detector. In this context, we demonstrate that the kinetically trapped N-protomer of benzocaine can be untrapped by reducing the humidity of the enclosed ion source. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
We recorded infrared (IR) spectra in the CH- and OH-stretching regions of size-selected clusters of methanol (M) with one water molecule (W), represented as MnW, n = 1-4, in a pulsed supersonic jet using the photoionization/IR-depletion technique. Vacuum ultraviolet emission at 118 nm served as the source of ionization in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to detect clusters MnW as protonated forms Mn-1WH+. The variations in intensities of Mn-1WH+ were monitored as the wavelength of the IR laser light was tuned across the range 2700-3800 cm-1. IR spectra of size-selected clusters were obtained on processing of the observed action spectra of the related cluster-ions according to a mechanism that takes into account the production and loss of each cluster due to IR photodissociation. Spectra of methanol-water clusters in the OH region show significant variations as the number of methanol molecules increases, whereas those in the CH region are similar for all clusters. Scaled harmonic vibrational wavenumbers and relative IR intensities predicted with the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ method for the methanol-water clusters are consistent with our experimental results. For dimers, absorption bands of a structure WM with H2O as a hydrogen-bond donor were observed at 3570, 3682, and 3722 cm-1, whereas weak bands of MW with methanol as a hydrogen-bond donor were observed at 3611 and 3753 cm-1. For M2W, the free OH band of H2O was observed at 3721 cm-1, whereas a broad feature was deconvoluted to three bands near 3425, 3472, and 3536 cm-1, corresponding to the three hydrogen-bonded OH-stretching modes in a cyclic structure. For M3W, the free OH shifted to 3715 cm-1, and the hydrogen-bonded OH-stretching bands became much broader, with a weak feature near 3179 cm-1 corresponding to the symmetric OH-stretching mode of a cyclic structure. For M4W, the observed spectrum agrees unsatisfactorily with predictions for the most stable cyclic structure, indicating significant contributions from branched isomers, which is distinctly different from M5 of which the cyclic form dominates.

Abstract
This paper deals with the development and construction of an apparatus for time-resolved tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) for the diagnostics of pulsed plasma. A detailed description of the extension of a progressive method of laser absorption spectroscopy in continuous regime to a direct triggering method of the time-resolved laser absorption spectroscopy (TR-LAS) is presented. The main advantage of the developed method is its capability to measure the time evolution of the whole absorption profile with a preset time resolution, which can be less than 1 μs. Therefore, the presented method of repetitive sampling applied on LAS in plasma processes is capable of simultaneous measurement of the density and kinetic temperature of selected particles. Its appropriate applications are to periodical processes in technological plasma, namely pulsed plasma discharges. The developed method of TR-LAS was applied to measurements of the temporal evolution of density and kinetic temperature of argon metastable species during high-power impulse magnetron sputtering of titanium and titanium dioxide thin films.

Abstract
Survey jet-cooled spectra of acetic acid have been recorded in the infrared region (200-4000 cm(-1)) over a wide range of expansion conditions. From the variations of the relative intensities of the signals, vibrational transitions have been assigned unambiguously to the trans-monomer and cyclic-dimer. The IR-active fundamental frequencies have been determined at the instrumental accuracy of 0.5 cm(-1). This analysis of the jet-cooled spectra supported by electronic structure calculations permitted us to characterize the trans-monomer/cyclic-dimer equilibrium. From static cell spectra at 298 K, variations of the molar fractions ratio as a function of the total pressure were used to estimate the equilibrium constant and the Gibbs free energy of dimerization at 298 K. The very good agreement with the literature data shows that the present method is able to produce, from a single study, a free energy value as reliable as the one obtained from a large collection of data. In addition, the semi-empirical free energy value was used to estimate the accuracy of electronic structure calculations and in turn the accuracy of the derived useful information such as the dissociation energy of the complex (i.e. the strength of the hydrogen bonds) or the relative energies within the conformational landscape.

Abstract
Global optimization for molecular clusters can be significantly more difficult than for atomic clusters because of the coupling between orientational and translational degrees of freedom. A coarse-grained representation of the potential can reduce the complexity of this problem, while retaining the essential features of the intermolecular interactions. In this study, we use a basin-hopping algorithm to locate putative global minima for clusters of coarse-grained water molecules modeled using a monatomic water potential for cluster sizes 3 ≤ N ≤ 55. We characterize these structures and identify structural trends using ideas from graph theory. The agreement with atomistic results and experiment is rather patchy, which we attribute to the tetrahedral bias in the three-body potential that results in too few nearest neighbor contacts and premature emergence of bulk-like structure. In spite of this issue, the results offer further useful insight into the relationship between the structure of clusters and bulk phases, and the mathematical form of a widely used model potential.
