Popis: A comprehensive ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation study is performed on the waterborne S-IV and S-VI species for different oxidation states and characterized for their spatial hydration nature, hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) and spectroscopic aspects. The vibrational modes of the power spectra and the influence of H-bonding for each species in the condensed phases are characterized by comparing with the normal modes of the species in the gas phase. In particular, it has been found that the H-bonds formed by S–IV species are more in number than those of S–VI species per oxygen site and are at least 2 times more durable than those for the latter. It has been predicted that such characteristics of H-bonds will significantly change the transport characteristics of the species.
