The optimized geometry and energy for [K(H2O)n=1-8] clusters have been studied using different basis sets and different methods (HF, MP2(FULL), BLYP and B3LYP). Moreover, two analytical potentials have been developed for potassium in water based on MP2(FULL) and B3LYP computations using the 6311g* for potassium and the aug-cc-pVTZ(H2O) basis set for water. Two molecular dynamics simulations hav...
