Resonant ion-dip infrared spectroscopy (RIDIRS) is used to record cluster-size-specific spectra of C6H6-(H2O)(n) (BWn) clusters with n=1-7 in the C-H and O-H stretch regions (2900-4000 cm(-1)). The Fermi triad characteristic of benzene in the C-H stretch region is virtually unchanged by addition of as many as seven water molecules. By contrast, the O-H stretch spectra show a dramatic dependence on cluster size. In C6H6-H2O, the O-H stretch transitions are complicated by additional structure due to internal rotation of H2O in the complex. In C6H6-(H2O)(2), the O-H stretch spectrum closely mimics that of the free water dimer. For the n=3-5 clusters, the spectra can be divided roughly into three categories, due to free O-H (3715 cm(-1)), pi H-bonded O-H (3650 cm(-1)), and single donor O-H stretches, consistent with a BWn structure composed of a cyclic W-n cluster in which one of the free O-H groups is used in pi hydrogen bonding with benzene. At n=6, the spectra show distinct new transitions in the 3500-3600 cm(-1) region. By comparing with the predictions of ab initio calculations of W-n, these new transitions are assigned to double donor O-H stretches associated with the formation of a more compact, ice-like structure in W-6. The transformation to double-donating waters continues to develop in BW7, where additional transitions in the double-donor O-H stretch region appear at the expense of free O-H transition intensity.
