Abstract
The molecular structure of water is dynamic, with intermolecular (H)-bond interactions being modified by both electronic charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects (NQEs). Electronic charge transfer and NQEs potentially change under acidic / basic conditions, but such details have not been measured. Here, we developed correlated vibrational spectroscopy, a symmetry-based method that distinctively separates interacting from non-interacting molecules in self- and cross-correlation spectra, giving access to previously inaccessible information. We found that OH − donated ~8% more negative charge to the H-bond network of water and H 3 O + accepted ~4% less negative charge from the H-bond network of water. D 2 O had ~9% more H-bonds compared to H 2 O, and acidic solutions displayed more dominant NQEs than basic ones.
水的分子结构是动态的,分子间(H)键的相互作用受电子电荷转移和核量子效应(NQEs)的影响。在酸性/碱性条件下,电子电荷转移和核量子效应可能会发生变化,但这些细节尚未得到测量。在此,我们开发了相关振动光谱法,这是一种基于对称性的方法,可在自相关和交叉相关光谱中将相互作用分子与非相互作用分子区分开来,从而获取以前无法获取的信息。我们发现,OH - 从水的 H 键网络中捐献的负电荷比水多 ~8% ,而 H 3 O + 从水的 H 键网络中接受的负电荷比水少 ~4%。D 2 O 的 H 键比 H 2 O 多 9%,酸性溶液比碱性溶液显示出更主要的 NQE。
期刊介绍:
Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research.
Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated.
Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
