Abstract

The vibrational OH-stretch spectrum of size selected water hexamer clusters has been measured for cluster temperatures between 40 and 60 K. By comparison with temperature dependent calculations the spectra were identified to be those of the book isomer. This result is in good agreement with recent predictions of the equilibrium isomer distributions in this temperature range.
