| Abstract | We report the first measurement of water monomer bending vibrations in gaseous (H 2O)n clusters. Infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy reveals discrete and sequentially blue-shifted bands near 6 μm for n ) 2-4 and unresolved broad features for n > 4, supporting both theoretical predictions and solid-state spectroscopy results. These measurements provide a measure of the monomer distortion that accompanies sequential hydrogen bond formation, which will be valuable for the construction of potential energy surfaces for describing water. |
