Notes:
Various isomers of CH3(H2O)n+ (where n = 1-3) have been studied using self-consistent field gradient techniques. The calculations have largely employed a split valence (4-21G) basis set, although the effects of polarization functions and electron correlation have been considered for a model system. A mechanism for the formation of CH3OH from CH3(H2O)n+, involving linear hydration chains, is proposed, and the relevance of the results to the various proposed pathways for the decomposition of nitrosamine metabolites is discussed.
