I.R. Experimental studies of dynamical aspects of water structure: Effects of HD substitution and of small solutes

Abstract Results on i.r. absorption spectra of H2O, D2O and electrolytic solutions and their thermal modifications are presented. From the data, some parameters can be obtained which are suitable for a description of dynamical aspects of water structure. Solute induced changes of these parameters provide a quantitative, although phenomenologic description of the water-solute interaction.
