Résumé

The most common species in liquid water, next to neutral [Formula: see text] molecules, are the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ions. In a dynamic picture, their exact concentrations depend on the time scale at which these are probed. Here, using a spectral-weight analysis, we experimentally resolve the fingerprints of the elusive fluctuations-born short-living [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] ions in the IR spectra of light ([Formula: see text]), heavy ([Formula: see text]), and semi-heavy (HDO) water. We find that short-living ions, with concentrations reaching [Formula: see text] of the content of water molecules, coexist with long-living pH-active ions on the picosecond timescale, thus making liquid water an effective ionic liquid in femtochemistry.
