A Fully Size-Resolved Perspective on the Crystallization of Water Clusters
Original language description
The number of water molecules needed to form the smallest ice crystals has proven challenging to pinpoint experimentally. This information would help to better understand the hydrogen-bonding interactions that account for the macroscopic properties of water. Here, we report infrared (IR) spectra of precisely size-selected (H2O)(n) clusters, with n ranging from 85 to 475; sodium doping and associated IR excitation-modulated photoionization spectroscopy allowed the study of this previously intractable size domain. Spectral features indicating the onset of crystallization are first observed for n = 275 +/- 25; for n = 475 +/- 25, the well-known band of crystalline ice around 3200 cm(-1) dominates the OH-stretching region. The applied method has the potential to push size-resolved IR spectroscopy of neutral clusters more broadly to the 100- to 1000-molecule range, in which many solvents start to manifest condensed phase properties
