Abstract
A STRUCTURAL model for water represents the liquid as a mobile, imperfect framework with molecular water or waters at defect sites1. The framework is connected by hydrogen bonds while the molecules held interstitially are hydrogen bonded neither to each other nor to framework molecules. This communication reports experimental results consistent with this model as provided by an investigation of aqueous proton nuclear magnetic relaxation times.
