On the existence of CO 3 2− microsolvated clusters: a theoretical study

Microsolvated clusters of the carbonate dianion were investigated from the first principles and were shown to be semi-stable, although challenging to observe experimentally. These results are important for atmospheric chemistry and ocean acidification processes.
