Paper Abstract
Monitoring of water contaminants implies a need for determining their dielectric response properties with re-
spect to electromagnetic wave excitation at various frequencies. Iron is a naturally occurring water contaminant
resulting from decaying vegetation, which is at much higher concentrations than any other metal contaminant.
The present study uses density functional theory (DFT) for the calculation of ground state resonance struc-
ture and molecular stability analysis for Fe water complexes. The calculations presented are for excitation by
electromagnetic waves at frequencies within the THz range. Dielectric response functions calculated by DFT
can be used for the analysis of water contaminants. These functions provide quantitative initial estimates of
spectral response features for subsequent adjustment with respect to additional information such as laboratory
measurements and other types of theory based calculations. In addition, with respect to qualitative analysis,
DFT calculated absorption spectra provide for molecular level interpretation of response structure. The DFT
software GAUSSIAN was used for the calculations of ground state resonance structure presented here.
