The infrared spectra (from 2 to 30 μ) of thin films of H2O and D2O were measured at various temperatures between 20 ° and −180 °C. A strong absorption band due to the librational mode of the water molecule has its maximum around 710 cm.−1 in the liquid. In ice it is shifted to 800 cm.−1 at −15 °C. and 850 cm.−1 at −170 °C. The corresponding D2O bands show the normal isotope shift. Thin films of water pressed between silver chloride plates could not be crystallized even at liquid air temperature as confirmed by their spectra, which were almost identical with those of the liquid.

The absorption spectra at 25 °C. of aqueous solutions of mineral acids (HCl, HBr, HNO3, HClO4, H2SO4, H3PO4) and of some of their acid salts in various concentrations were measured in the infrared from 2 to 25 µ. In all cases three broad bands were present at 1205, 1750, and 2900 cm.−1 arising from the H3O+ ion. Cooling the samples, and even supercooling them down to liquid air temperature, produced no major changes in the spectra. The bands of the D3O+ ion were also found at 960, 1400, and 2170 cm.−1 in solutions of DCl in heavy water. Thus, the existence of discrete hydronium ions in the liquid state, with average life longer than 10−13 second, is confirmed. Infrared spectra provide a means of estimating the extent of ionization of strong acids in solution.

We present evidence for a 12 micron absorption band due to the librational mode of the H2O molecule in the form of ice in some IRAS LRS spectra. This identification is based on the 3 micron spectrophotometry of these objects showing the presence of the 3 micron ice band. From these spectra, physical characteristics of the ice can be discussed.
