Sequential binding enthalpies (ΔHn,n−1) calculated as a function of cluster size for hydrated Cu+ and M2+ using the Thomson liquid drop model and parameters for bulk water at 298 K. Dashed line indicates the bulk heat of vaporization of liquid water (ΔHbulk). Cluster sizes relevant to this study are indicated.
