Abstract
The infrared spectra of authenticated samples of ethylene oxide hydrate and deuterate at 100 °K have been measured between 360 and 20 cm−1. The spectra confirm that the water molecules are orientationally-disordered and reorient slowly compared to far-infrared frequencies. An empirical correlation is suggested between the frequencies of strong absorption and the number of non-equivalent hydrogen bonds, their length and distribution. The contribution to the spectrum by the ethylene oxide intermolecular vibrations is discussed.
