The configurations of cationic water cluster (H2O)13+ have been explored through the particle swarm optimization algorithm conjunct with computational quantum chemistry approaches. Geometry optimization and vibrational analysis for the 15 possible low-lying clusters were calculated at the MPW1K/6–31++G** level as well as infrared spectrum calculation. Through various hybrid exchange–correlation functionals...
