The AMOEBA and TTM2-F model potentials give an energy ordering that agrees with the results of the electronic structure calculations, while the TIP4P and Dang - Chang models give the opposite ordering. Insight into the role of many-body polarization for establishing the relative stability of the two isomers is provided by an n-body decomposition of the energies calculated using the various theoretical methods. © 2006 American Chemical Society. date: 2006-09-28 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text/plain language: en rights: attached identifier: http://d-scholarship-dev.library.pitt.edu/16077/1/licence.txt identifier: Cui, J and Liu, H and Jordan, KD (2006) Theoretical characterization of the (H2O)21 cluster: Application of an n-body decomposition procedure.
