Abstract
We report measurement of the OH librational band in nanoscopic pools of water and methanol confined within reverse micelles. The librational band, which peaks near 670 cm-1 in the bulk liquids, shifts to lower frequency as the reverse micelle size decreases. In addition, the shape of the band changes considerably as a function of decreasing size. The librational band at all compositions is well fit by a two-state model based on the relative fractions of bound and free water (or methanol) within the reverse micelles.
