Infrared spectroscopy measurements have been completed over a wide range of frequencies allowing to measure the evolution of both intramolecular and intermolecular vibrational modes in water as a function of temperature. Emphasis is made on the high frequency OH stretching band and the so-called connectivity band that lies in the far infrared region. The substructures of the two infrared bands are analyzed in terms of different levels of connectivity of the water molecules, along the statements of the percolation model. Both band profiles appear to be related to the different degrees of connectivity of water molecules. Comparison of the data with the predictions of the percolation model shows good agreement as for the temperature evolution of liquid water. This work provides additional support to the interpretation of water bands substructures as signatures of its very specific connectivity pattern. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy measurements have been completed over a wide range of frequencies allowing to measure the evolution of both intramolecular and intermolecular vibrational modes in water as a function of temperature. Emphasis is made on the high frequency OH stretching band and the so-called connectivity band that lies in the far infrared region. The substructures of the two infrared bands are analyzed in terms of different levels of connectivity of the water molecules, along the statements of the percolation model. Both band profiles appear to be related to the different degrees of connectivity of water molecules. Comparison of the data with the predictions of the percolation model shows good agreement as for the temperature evolution of liquid water. This work provides additional support to the interpretation of water bands substructures as signatures of its very specific connectivity pattern.
