Abstract

Calculations of the frequencies of hindered rotation and translation expected in liquid water have been made on the basis of a simple $C_{2\nu}$ model of one water molecule tetrahedrally hydrogen bonded to four nearest neighbors. These calculations have been extended to include the effects of the distribution of nearest neighbor hydrogen bond distances as determined by Narten, Danford and Levy from X-ray diffraction $measurements.^{1}$ The results of these calculations will be presented and related to the observed infrared spectrum of liquid water.
