    Abstract:
    In aqueous acetone solutions, the strong bathochromic shifts observed on the OH and CO stretch infrared (IR) bands are due to hydrogen bonds between these groups. These shifts were evaluated by factor analysis (FA) that separated the band components from which five water and five acetone principal factors were retrieved [J. Chem. Phys. 119, 5632 (2003)]. However, these factors were abstract making them difficult to interpret. To render them real an organization model of molecules is here developed whose abundances are compared to the experimental ones. The model considers that the molecules are randomly organized limited by the hydrogen bond network formed between the water hydrogen atoms and the acetone or water oxygen atoms, indifferently. Because the oxygen of water has two covalent hydrogen atoms which are hydrogen-bonded and may receive up to two hydrogen atoms from neighbor molecules hydrogen-bonded to it, three types of water molecules are found: OH2, OH3, and OH4 (covalent and hydrogen bonds). In the OH stretch region these molecules generate three absorption regimes composed of nu3, nu1, and their satellites. The strength of the H-bond given increases with the number of H-bonds accepted by the oxygen atom of the water H-bond donor, producing nine water situations. Since FA cannot separate those species that evolve concomitantly the nine water situations are regrouped into five factors, the abundance of which compared exactly to that retrieved by FA. From the factors' real spectra the OH stretch absorption are simulated to, respectively, give for the nu3 and nu1 components the mean values for OH2, 3608, 3508; OH3, 3473, 3282 and OH4, 3391, 3223 cm(-1). The mean separations from the gas-phase position which are respectively about 150, 330, and 400 cm(-1) are related to the vacancy of the oxygen electron doublets: two, one, and zero, respectively. No acetone hydrate that sequesters water molecules is formed. Similarly, acetone produces ten species, two of which evolve concomitantly. Spectral similarities further reduce these to five principal IR factors, the abundance of which compared adequately to the experimental results obtained from FA. The band assignment of the five-acetone spectra is given.
