[Search for the Influence Contributing to the Study of an Underlying Cause of Water Cluster Structure]
Abstract:
One of the theoretical underlying causes of the formation of water cluster structure is based on nuclear ortho/para spin isomerism of H2O molecules. This theory was so convincing that motivated the search for the experiments on theory validation. The long-term increase in the number of models of the supramolecular water structure did not lead to a reliable result yet, despite numerous efforts of large research teams. It is shown experimentally that the theory of nuclear ortho/para isomers can be validated with a high degree of reliability. It is revealed that a supramolecular model of water cluster structure in a metastable state forms a center of crystallization at the positive electrode using oxygen associates.
