抄録

<jats:p> Resonant two-photon ionization, ultraviolet hole-burning, and resonant ion-dip infrared (RIDIR) spectroscopy were used to assign and characterize the hydrogen-bonding topology of two conformers of the benzene-(water) <jats:sub>8</jats:sub> cluster. In both clusters, the eight water molecules form a hydrogen-bonded cube to which benzene is surface-attached. Comparison of the RIDIR spectra with density functional theory calculations is used to assign the two (water) <jats:sub>8</jats:sub> structures in benzene-(water) <jats:sub>8</jats:sub> as cubic octamers of <jats:italic>D</jats:italic> <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> <jats:sub> <jats:italic>d</jats:italic> </jats:sub> and <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> <jats:sub>4</jats:sub> symmetry, which differ in the configuration of the hydrogen bonds within the cube. OH stretch vibrational fundamentals near 3550 wave numbers provide unique spectral signatures for these “molecular ice cubes.” </jats:p>
