Proton transfer or hemibonding? The structure and stability of radical cation clusters

The basin hopping search algorithm in conjunction with second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory is used to determine the lowest energy structures of the radical cation clusters (NH_3)_n^+, (H_2O)_n^+, (HF)_n^+, (PH_3)_n^+, (H_2S)_n^+ and (HCl)_n^+, where n=2-4. The energies of the most stable...
