A Molecular Dynamics Simulation of an Aqueous Beryllium Chloride Solution

A Molecular Dynamics simulation of a 1.1 molal aqueous BeCl2 solution was performed with the flexible BJH model for water and a newly developed three-body potential for Be2+ -H2O interactions derived from ab-initio calculations. The properties of the potential are discussed and radial distribution functions, angular distributions and dynamic properties of the solution like vibrational modes and hindered rotations are analyzed.
