Probing the local structure of liquid water by X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Jared D. Smith,Christopher D. Cappa,Benjamin M. Messer,Walter S. Drisdell,Ronald C. Cohen,Richard J. Saykally +5 more
TL;DR: Calculations conclusively show that when hydrogen-bonding configurations are chosen randomly, the calculated XAS does not reproduce the experimental XAS regardless of the bonding model employed, thus casting serious doubt on the validity of the rings and chains model for liquid water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidimensional intermolecular potential surfaces from vibration- rotation-tunneling (vrt) spectra of van der waals complexes
TL;DR: The role of intermolecular forces in modern science is becoming ever more prominent, as increasing numbers of chemists and physicists turn to the investigation of condensed matter phenomena and biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative Phenomena in Artificial Solids Made from Silver Quantum Dots: The Importance of Classical Coupling
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that metal quantum dots can be treated as artificial atoms and crystallized into artificial solids that have electronic properties that can be tuned by controlling interpa...
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of the C4 cluster radical
TL;DR: In this paper, the first infrared spectrum of gas phase, jet-cooled C4 has been measured by high resolution diode laser absorption spectroscopy and 12 rovibrational transitions are assigned to the nu3(sigmau) antisymmetric stretch of linear 3Sigma -g C4.

TL;DR: In terms of energy, photons in this region (0.03-1.0 kcal/mole) are less energetic than essentially all known hydrogen bond (and, of course, chemical bond) strengths but are about the same magnitude as typical van der Waals bond strengths as mentioned in this paper.
