title: Determination of Spectroscopic Band Shapes by Second Derivatives, Part II: Infrared Spectra of Liquid Light and Heavy Water.
abstract: Second derivative and band simulation techniques are used in a synergetic relationship to identify components in the infrared (IR) spectra of liquid light and heavy water. Nine Gaussian components are retrieved in massive OH and OD stretch absorption. In this context, ν1 and ν3 are the principal components along with satellites derived from harmonic and combination bands. The Raman spectrum of light water matches the IR components with intensity variations as expected.
