After conquering the atomic structure about a century ago, chemists have been largely
interested in understanding the concept of chemical bond and the formation of a molecule …

On planet Earth, water is everywhere: the majority of the surface is covered with it; it is a key
component of all life; its vapour and droplets fill the lower atmosphere; and even rocks …

The nature of the intermolecular forces between water molecules is the same in small
hydrogen-bonded clusters as in the bulk. The rotational spectra of the clusters therefore give …

In this review, we report recent progress in the field of supercooled water. Due to its
uniqueness, water presents numerous anomalies with respect to most simple liquids …

The investigation on the preferred arrangement and intermolecular interactions of gas phase
solute–water clusters gives insights into the intermolecular potentials that govern the …

Since its invention in 2006, the broadband chirped pulse Fourier transform spectrometer has
transformed the field of microwave spectroscopy. The technique enables the collection of …

In the last decade, experiment and theory have expanded our vision of non‐covalent
interactions (NCIs), shifting the focus from the conventional hydrogen bond to new bridging …

Most biomolecular activity takes place in aqueous environments, and it is strongly influenced
by the surrounding water molecules. The hydrogen bond networks that these water …

The diffuse vibrational envelope displayed by water precludes direct observation of how
different hydrogen-bond topologies dictate the spectral response of individual hydroxy group …

Clusters of eight water molecules play an important role in theoretical analysis of aqueous
structure and dynamics but have proven to be challenging experimental targets. Here we …
