Abstract
The nature of the structure of liquid water has been a matter of scientific interest since before the beginning of this century. Since 1933 the suggestion of Bernal and Fowler [1] that the structure of water is due to the hydrogen bonding between molecules has been the basis of all structural models. In this article we discuss some of the evidence that has been provided by the study of the vibrational spectra of liquid water that bears on the nature of the structure. There has been no attempt to conduct a complete literature survey but rather to select and discuss examples that serve to illustrate the scope of infrared and Raman studies in the study of the structure of water in aqueous solutions.
