Molecular dynamics computer simulations were performed on clusters of Cl−(H2O)n (n=2,...,15). From the simulations we calculated the stabilization energies of the anion in the cluster. These energies were compared with the values of stabilization energies obtained from the photodetachment spectra of X−(H2O)n clusters (X=Cl−, Br−, or I−). The comparison confirms the hypothesis that the anion is attached to the water cluster.
