Abstrakt: Topological analyses of hydrogen bond networks were performed based on the complex network and island statistics of liquid water at different temperatures. The influence of temperature on the liquid water structures and the topological properties of the hydrogen bond networks was investigated by Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations with the TIP4P/2005 potential model. The bilinear behavior of the second peak in the radial distribution function with the temperature was properly reproduced by these simulations. The average connectivity also displayed a bilinear behavior consistent with being a local descriptor. The semiglobal average path length (or geodesic distance) descriptor showed an unprecedented trimodal distribution, whose areas were dependent on the temperature. Considering equilibrium between these three sets of networks, standard enthalpy and entropy of equilibrium were determined for the first time, providing new insights into the structural heterogeneities of liquid water with interesting perspectives for modeling these quantitative properties of hydrogen bond networks.
