Abstract: | Nano-sized clusters of various materials are recent experimental targets, since they exhibit size-dependent physico-chemical properties. A vast amount of literature is available on the study of molecular clusters but general methods for systematic evolution of their growth are rather scarce. The present work reports a molecular cluster building algorithm based on the electrostatic guidelines, followed by ab initio investigations, enabled by the application of molecular tailoring approach. Applications of the algorithm for generating geometries and interaction energies of large molecular clusters of zinc sulfide, benzene, and water are presented. |
