IR measurements show how the strength of the hydrogen bonds increases within the course of the transformation from high- to low-density amorphous ice, following the OD-stretch mode. Phase coexistence is observed at intermediate temperatures.

The cover shows an indium container containing a high-pressure ice polymorph. As the container was heated, the polymorph underwent a phase transition resulting in the "popping" of the ice. In our work, different ice polymorphs were synthetized with O-17 water and were therefore measurable with NMR. The viewgraph shows some of those NMR spectra of different ice polymorphs at different temperatures.

Cover J. Phys. Chem. A 125 (2019) Issue 4:

The cover shows an ice cube taken out of a liquid nitrogen dewar using tweezers for subsequent near-infrared (NIR) analysis. The viewgraph shows a spectrum that resembles the letters “NIR”. In our work, NIR spectra of high-pressure ice polymorphs II, IV, V, VI, IX, and XII were measured for the first time. Spectra were recorded in diffuse reflectance geometry at ambient pressure and liquid nitrogen temperature, avoiding undesired phase transitions. Each ice polymorph shows unique overtones and combination bands. Especially, the first overtone of the OH stretching vibration is a good marker band for distinguishing different ices. A clear blue-shift of the OH stretching band with increasing (topological) density is observed. This might be of importance for a remote detection of high-pressure ice phases in astrophysical environments.

The image shows two distinct liquids at supercooled conditions. A paper boat is sailing on the non-crystalline phase diagram, involving the two liquids (LDL and HDL), two amorphous solids (LDA and HDA) and the purported liquid-liquid critical point. In how far aqueous solutions help to learn more about the phase behavior and water's properties is discussed in our perspective.

In the front of the cover is an artistic visualization of a 2-mode potential energy surface (PES), expanded in the H2O symmetric stretch and bending coordinates. Such a PES is the key to accurate computation of molecular vibrations, as used in the assignment of the matrix-isolated H2O infrared spectrum shown in the back.

The tail of comets such as Hale-Bopp may contain gas-phase carbonic acid. In their Communication Grothe, Loerting, and co-workers report the IR spectra of carbonic acid molecules trapped from the gas phase, information critical in identifying this compound in astrophysical environments. The comet image was provided by E. Kolmhofer and H. Raab, Johannes-Kepler-Observatory, Linz (Austria).

What's the matter? The laboratory Raman spectra for carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), both for the β-polymorph and its amorphous state, are required to detect carbonic acid on the surface of the pole caps of Mars, when the Mars Microbeam Raman Spectrometer lands on the planet. The picture shows a martian crater with ice of unknown composition, possibly containing carbonic acid (image adapted from DLR, with permission from ESA, DLR, and FU Berlin – G. Neukum).
