Using the helium nanodroplet isolation setup at the ultrabright free-electron laser source FELIX in Nijmegen (BoHeNDI@FELIX), the intermolecular modes of water dimer in the frequency region from 70 to 550â
cm-1 were recorded. Observed bands were assigned to donor torsion, acceptor wag, acceptor twist, intermolecular stretch, donor torsion overtone, and in-plane and out-of-plane librational modes. This experimental data set provides a sensitive test for state-of-the-art water potentials and dipole moment surfaces. Theoretical calculations of the IR spectrum are presented using high-level quantum and approximate quasiclassical molecular dynamics approaches. These calculations use the full-dimensional abâ
initio WHHB potential and dipole moment surfaces. Based on the experimental data, a considerable increase of the acceptor switch and a bifurcation tunneling splitting in the librational mode is deduced, which is a consequence of the effective decrease in the tunneling barrier.
