Raman investigation of the temperature dependence of the bending v/sub 2/ and combination v/sub 2/ + v/sub L/ bands from liquid water
Raman spectra were obtained from liquid water between 3 and 95/sup 0/C under absolute intensity conditions. Depolarized v/sub 2/ peak frequencies were observed to lie above the polarized peak values by 5-8 cm/sup -1/. Gaussian analysis indicated a narrow v/sub 2/ component centered approx. = 30-45 cm/sup -1/ above a broad v/sub 2/ component. The intensity of the sharp v/sub 2/ Gaussian component increased relative to the broad v/sub 2/ Gaussian component with increasing temperature. In addition, the depolarized X(ZX)Y total v/sub 2/ contour intensity was observed to increase with temperature rise, but the corresponding polarized X(ZZ)Y v/sub 2/ intensity was observed to decrease. Isosbestic points were observed in the v/sub 2/ + v/sub L/ (L = libration) combination band at 2060 cm/sup -1/, X(ZX)Y, and 2025 cm/sup -1/, X(ZZ)Y. Gaussian contour analysis revealed three components, at (1) 2050, (2) 2150, and (3) 2300 cm/sup -1/ (weak). A plot of the integrated component intensities 1n (I/sub 2/ + I/sub 3/)/I/sub 1/) versus 1/T yielded a characteristic enthalpy value of -2.5 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol of O-H ... O. The v/sub 2/ data indicated that the bending contour contains two unresolved components from fully hydrogen-bonded (4-HB) and from partially hydrogen-bonded (3-HB) structures. These bends are coupled to the corresponding 4-HB and 3-HB librations. One of the 3-HB librations occurs near approx. = 450 cm/sup -1/, and it plus the 3-HB bend gives rise to the 2050-cm/sup -1/ combination component, whose temperature dependence relative to the 4-HB components yields the present enthalpy value for hydrogen bond rupture. These results are compatible with the bifurcated hydrogen bond model of Giguere.
