Hydrogen bonding in water and ice

Abstract

The absorption bands due to the OH and OD stretching vibrations of HDO in ice were measured between 0 and −182° and compared with the corresponding bands in liquid water. Their frequencies were correlated with the intermolecular potential energies of H2O and D2O. The distributions of the intermolecular energies in ice and in water at different temperatures were derived from the profiles of the bands.
