Effect of salts on dynamics of water: A Raman spectroscopy study

In this work, we have studied, by means of Raman spectroscopy, water‐additives interactions in the case of alkaline halogenides aqueous solutions. We have obtained some parameters describing the evolution of water structure vs concentration or the nature of the added salts. These parameters show, as previously described, a more important effect of anions than cations. Next, the evolution of the dynamical properties of the solution depends on the size of the ions. Moreover, the development of a new band in the isotropic part of the salts solutions spectra is attributed to water–ions interactions involved in the dynamics of hydration shells.
