Structure and stability of spiro-cyclic water clusters
Abstract. The structure and stability of spiro-cyclic water clusters containing up to 32 water moleculeshave been investigated at different levels of theory. Although there exist minima lower in energy than
these spiro-cyclic clusters, calculations at the Hartree–Fock level, density functional theory using B3LYP
parametrization and second order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory using 6-31G and 6-311++G
basis sets show that they are stable in their own right. Vibrational frequency calculations and atoms-in
molecules analysis of the electron density map confirm the robustness of these hydrogen bonded clusters.
Keywords. Hydrogen bonding; water clusters; spiro-cyclic; atoms-in-molecules.
Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water
Сверионизированная вода - это вода, получаемая в процессе электролиза воды. Она имеет щёлочную реакцию, её ОВП снижается, уменьшается поверхностное натяжение, снижается количество растворённого кислорода и азота, возрастает концентрация водорода, свободных гидроксильных групп, уменьшается электропроводность, изменяется структура не только гидратных оболочек ионов, но и свободного объёма воды. Такая вода нейтрализует повышенную кислотность организма.
Electronic Structure of Ionized Water Clusters
Eric J. Sundstrom, Piotr A. Pieniazek, and Anna I. Krylov
Ionization of liquid water is of great practical interest in the context of atmospheric and biological chemistry. The removal of an electron leads to cascade formation of reactive intermediates that can incur cellular damage. Despite several decades of research the nature of the initially formed state and its immediate dynamics are still poorly understood. We pose a very fundamental question: "What does it mean to ionize water?"
Infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy of water clusters: O– D stretching bands
The infrared O – D stretching spectrum of fully deuterated jet-cooled water clusters is reported.
Sequential red-shifts in the single donor O – D stretches, which characterize the cooperative effects
in the hydrogen bond network, were accurately measured for clusters up to ( D2O) 8 . Detailed
comparisons with corresponding data obtained for ( H2O) n clusters are presented. Additionally,
rotational analyses of two D2O dimer bands are presented. These measurements were made possible
by the advent of infrared cavity ringdown laser absorption spectroscopy IR-CRLAS using
Raman-shifted pulsed dye lasers, which creates many new opportunities for gas phase IR
spectroscopy.
“Water Buckyball” Terahertz Vibrations in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Cosmology
Pentagonal dodecahedral water clusters – “water buckyballs” - and arrays thereof are shown fromfirst-principles electronic-structure calculations to possess unique terahertz-frequency vibrational
modes in the 1-6 THz range, corresponding to O–O–O “bending”, “squashing”, and “twisting”
“surface” distortions of the clusters. The cluster LUMOs are huge “Rydberg” “S”-, “P”-, “D”-, and
“F”like molecular orbitals that accept an extra electron via optical excitation, ionization, or
electron-donation from interacting atoms or molecules.
Hydrogen-Bond Networks in Water Clusters (H2O)20: An Exhaustive Quantum-Chemical
Water aggregates allow for numerous configurations due to different
distributions of hydrogen bonds. The total number of possible
hydrogen-bond networks is very large even for medium-sized
systems. We demonstrate that the targeted ultra-fast methods of
quantum chemistry make an exhaustive analysis of all configurations
possible. The cage of (H2O)20 in the form of the pentagonal
dodecahedron is a common motif in water structures. We calculated
the spatial and electronic structure of all hydrogen-bond
configurations for three systems: idealized cage (H2O)20 and defect
cages with one or two hydrogen bonds broken. More than 3 million
configurations studied provide unique data on the structure and
properties of water clusters. We performed a thorough analysis of the
results with the emphasis on the cooperativity in water systems and
the structure-property relations.
The bifurcation rearrangement in cyclic water clusters
Tunneling patterns observed in the vibration – rotation – tunnelling spectrum of H2O 5 measurednear 2.7 THz established the time scale for bifurcation rearrangements to be approximately 40 ns.
This relatively local process is likely to be relevant in the dynamics of liquid water and ice.
Untangling the mysteries of the liquid. Научные доказательства кластерной структуры воды
В этом разделе собраны иинтересные научные статьи по структуре воды, написанные зарубежными учёными (на русском языке таких материалов или очень мало, или нет вообще). Все эти статьи я с большим трудом отыскал в интернете и скачал с сайтов зарубежных научных журналов. Эти материалы действительно уникальны по своей научной значимости, поскольку их результаты доказывают кластерную структуру воды. Материалы уникальные тем, что это полные статьи. Обычно научные журналы не публикуют полнотекстные статьи, а дают лишь короткую аннотацию. Поэтому найти полноценные научные статьи в интернете довольно сложно. Нужно либо идти в научную библиотеку или платить деньги интернет-редакциям. Поэтому это будет очень полезно нашим читателям и особенно людям, работающей в научной сфере, так как таких статей на русском языке практически нет. Меня очень часто читатели спрашивают тот или иной физико-химический показатель, а здесь все они собраны воедино.

Water clusters: Untangling the mysteries of the liquid, one molecule at a time
Extensive terahertz laser vibration-rotation-tunneling spectra and
mid-IR laser spectra have been compiled for several isotopomers of
small (dimer through hexamer) water clusters. These data, in
conjunction with new theoretical advances, quantify the struc
tures, force fields, dipole moments, and hydrogen bond rearrange
ment dynamics in these clusters. This new information permits us
to systematically untangle the intricacies associated with cooper
ative hydrogen bonding and promises to lead to a more complete
molecular description of the liquid and solid phases of water,
including an accurate universal force field.

Water Clusters - Ultra Hydration for Metabolic Efficiency
In the last decade we have seen an emergence of a several new classes of bottled waters. These classes go by the several names: energetic, structured, clustered, electrolytic, and eloptic to name a few. The question that must be answered is, “What do these new classes mean and how can they help us live healthier happier lives?” To understand this we must first examine the basic physics of water. Water on the surface seems fairly simple. Combine 2 hydrogen atoms together with a receptive oxygen atom and you form the basic H2O molecule. In nature, these H2O molecules form complex patterns by grouping and clumping together into “clusters”. These clusters form around ions in the solution, and are in and ever changing state of flux. They expand and contract continuously, grouping into large clusters and then splitting apart into smaller ones. This flux or change in clusters is called the Brownian movement of water.

The structure of Protonated Water Clusters
Of the chemical reactions that can occur in aqueous solution, acid-base reactions are among the most pervasive and important. Although it is easy to specify the balanced chemical equation for such a reaction [HX(aq) oH+(aq) + X(aq), where H is a proton and Xis the conjugate base of the acid HX], it is far more difficult to characterize the structures of these solvated ions, particularly the solvated proton.
On page 1137 of this issue, Shin et al. (1) and Miyazaki et al. on page 1134 (2) use the powerful tool of infrared (IR) spectroscopy to probe protonated water clusters H+(H2O)nwith n = 6 to 27. By isolating and mass-selecting the large protonated water clusters in the gas phase, the researchers are able to record the IR spectra of each cluster size in this range, and thereby follow the development of the IR spectrum as a function of the number of water molecules in the cluster.
Structure and Stability of Water Clusters
Extensive ab initio calculations have been performed using the 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis sets for several possible structures of water clusters (H2O)n, n ) 8-20. It is found that the most stable geometries arise from a fusion of tetrameric or pentameric rings. As a result, (H2O)n, n ) 8, 12, 16, and 20, are found to be cuboids, while (H2O)10 and (H2O)15 are fused pentameric structures. For the other water clusters (n ) 9, 11, 13, 14, and 17-19) under investigation, the most stable geometries can be thought of as arising from either the cuboid or the fused pentamers or a combination thereof.
The Structure Of Liquid Water
Keywords: Water, Structure of water, Epitaxy, Succusion, Nanobubbles, Colloids. 
This paper provides an interdisciplinary base of information on the structure of liquid water.
It begins with a synthesis built on the information base on the structure5 of noncrystalline,
inorganic, covalently-bonded condensed liquid phases, such as SiO2, S, Se, P, and H2O, which
exists in the materials science literature. The data for water are analyzed through the prism of
well-established algorithms in materials research: the connection of properties to structure;
the pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagrams; the phenomenon of epitaxy; the phenomenon
of liquid-liquid phase separation; the stability of two phase colloids; and, the recently
discovered effects of weak magnetic and electric fields on the structure of simple inorganic
oxides. A thorough combing of the literature of the condensed matter properties reflecting
structural features of essentially pure water obtained via the normal processes of preparing
homeopathic remedies, provides another rich data base.
Entropy and time in living matter
2011, Dr. Ignat Ignatov, Sofia, Bulgaria
The Russian scientist Semihina studied the tangent of dielectrical losses physical indicator for water in different animals (Semihina, 2005). Names of animals in the figure from top to bottom – earth-worms (1), carassius fish (2), mouse (3), frog (4), hamster (5).
of different animals, Semihina
The largest the extremities in this parameter, especially at 200 KHz or in the kilometer range of the e. m. waves, the highest level of evolutionary development of the animal. This is also an indicator for the “distancing” of the water in the different animals from the initial water for the origination of life. This is also an essential evidence that water is diverse in the various living creatures. When testing water in animals, there are differences in comparison with water in plants and natural waters. In animals bioelectric processes are more dynamic compared to plants. Mineral water, which interacts with calcium carbonate and sea water, is tested as a model system. Therefore it is difficult to make conclusions about the structure of water from bioelectrical indicators in animals without a parallel spectral analysis.
Water
“There are several ways in which certain liquids can crystallize—can freeze—several ways in which their atoms can stack and lock in an orderly, rigid way.
Suppose that the sort of ice we skate upon and put into highballs—what we call
ice-l—is only one of several types of ice. Suppose water always froze as ice-l
on Earth because it never had a seed to teach it how to form ice-two, ice-three,
ice-four…? And suppose that there were one form, which we will call ice-nine,
a crystal as hard as this desk with a melting point of 130°F. And suppose that
one Marine had with him a tiny capsule containing a seed of ice-nine, a new
way for the atoms of water to stack and lock, to freeze. If that Marine threw that
seed into the nearest puddle…?”
