We report the first high-resolution spectra for the out-of-plane librational vibration in the water dimer. Three vibrational subbands comprising a total of 188 transitions have been measured by diode laser spectroscopy near 500 cm-1 and assigned to (H2O)2 libration-rotation-tunneling eigenstates. The band origin for the Ka = 1 subband is ~524 cm-1. Librational excitation increases the interchange and bifurcation hydrogen bond rearrangement tunneling splittings by factors of 3-5 and 4-40, respectively. Analysis of the rotational constants obtained from a nonlinear least squares fit indicates that additional external perturbations to the energy levels are likely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
