Rotranslational dynamics of confined water. II. Spectroscopic evidence of confinement effects on the far-infrared spectra of water isotopologues in argon and krypton matrices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Water molecules trapped in rare gas matrices exhibit conspicuous shifts in their far-infrared (FIR), rotranslational spectral features compared with the corresponding transitions observed in the gas phase. These confinement-induced perturbations have been related not only to the quantization of translational motion but also to the coupling between the orientational and positional degrees of freedom: the rotation–translation coupling (RTC). As the propensity displayed by the nuclear spin isomers (NSI) of water to undergo interconversion in confinement is intimately related to how its nuclear spin degrees of freedom are coupled with those for intra- and intermolecular motions, confinement-induced RTC should also strongly impact the NSI interconversion mechanisms and rates. Insight into the rotranslational dynamics for H216O, H217O, and H218O, confined in argon and krypton matrices, is provided here based on the evolution of rotranslational spectra induced by NSI interconversion while a definitive assignment is provided from the transition energies and intensities calculated using the confined rotor model [Paper I, Wespiser et al., J. Chem. Phys. 156, 074304 (2021)]. In order to build a complete rotranslational energy diagram of confined water, which is fundamental to understand the NSI interconversion rates, the energy difference between the ground ortho and para rotranslational states is derived from the temperature dependence of the intensity ratio of mid-infrared lines emerging from these states. These investigations should provide deeper insight of the factors that control NSI interconversion of water isotopologues under extreme confinement.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
