Abstract
Selenium species are highly soluble in water and also occur in cement structures. In this study, we develop a classical force field for selenate (SeO42−) and selenite (SeO32−) oxyanions. The force field is fitted to the ab initio calculations, including the hydrated properties and equilibrium geometries. It allows to study mobility of selenium ions in aqueous solutions and mineral nanopores using classical molecular dynamics.
