Abstract
Molecules with an excess number of hydrogen-bonding partners play a crucial role in fundamental chemical processes, ranging from the anomalous diffusion in supercooled water to the transport of aqueous proton defects and the ordering of water around hydrophobic solutes. Here we show that overcoordinated hydrogen bond environments can be identified in both the ambient and supercooled regimes of liquid water by combining experimental Raman multivariate curve resolution measurements and machine learning accelerated quantum simulations. In particular, we find that OH groups appearing in spectral regions usually associated with non-hydrogen-bonded species actually correspond to hydrogen bonds formed in overcoordinated environments. We further show that only these species exhibit a turnover in population as a function of temperature, which is robust and persists under both constant pressure and density conditions. This work thus provides a new tool to identify, interpret, and elucidate the spectral signatures of crowded hydrogen bond networks.
