Sammendrag
In this work, we have studied the microsolvation of phenol in water. We started by identifying initial configurations of phenol-water clusters using classical molecular dynamics. The configurations are optimised at the ωB97XD/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. To understand the interaction between phenol and the solvating water molecules, we performed a quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis. The results show that the structures of phenol-water clusters are similar to those of neutral water clusters. The QTAIM analysis shows that the structures of phenol-water clusters are stabilised by strong OH··· O hydrogen bondings, weak CH··· O hydrogen bondings, and OH⋯π bonding interactions. The located structures of phenol-water clusters have been used to calculate the absolute hydration free energy and enthalpy of phenol for temperatures between 20 and 400 K. The hydration energies are calculated using the cluster continuum solvation model. It has been found that the explicit solvation has negligible effects on the hydration free energy and enthalpy of phenol. Furthermore, the hydration free energy of phenol is found to be linearly varying with increasing temperature, while the hydration enthalpy is found to be temperature independent. The estimated hydration free energy of phenol is slightly underestimated as compared to a previously reported experimental estimate.
