Abstract
The functionality of molecules cannot be discussed without considering the role of environmental molecules. Since 1980 the role of environmental molecules has been studied in terms of molecular clusters. This chapter considers some typical examples that demonstrate the size-dependence of proton transfer reactions, the size-dependence of the location of two positive charges in molecular clusters, and structure generation of environmental molecules around solute species. The last topic is particularly important for analyzing molecular functionality in an aqueous environment.
