We have calculated the relative stabilities of the clusters for both values of the dielectric constant. Our results indicate a gradual change in the relative stabilities of the clusters as the dielectric constant changes (see Figure ). While calculations at lower dielectric constants resemble results obtained in the gas phase, even capturing the q+1 rule, as the dielectric rises, the relative stability of clusters change, differing from the scenario of the q + 1 rule and the effect of the desolvation penalty starts to be noticeable.
