spectroscopy to investigate the solvation and dynamics of solitary water in ionic liquids and
dipolar solvents. Complex shapes observed for water OH-stretching bands, common to all
high-polarity solvents, were assigned to water in several solvation states. In the present
study, classical molecular dynamics simulations of a single water molecule in four ionic
liquids and three dipolar solvents were used to test and refine this interpretation. Consistent …
