Spectra of water have been acquired in the mid-infrared (MIR) and the near-infrared (NIR) region in the temperature range 2-96 degrees C and 4-52 degrees C, respectively. Loading plots from partial-least-squares regression were used to locate isosbestic points in the spectral bands of water. By means of least-squares, the original spectral profiles have been resolved into two spectra, one increasing and the other decreasing with temperature. Concentration profiles of the two structurally different water associations, for the investigated temperature range, were obtained by use of evolutionary curve resolution and first-order differentiation of the MIR spectra. Utilising information from the concentration profiles obtained in the MIR, the NIR spectra were resolved. Relative concentrations were obtained using spectral intensities from the isosbestic points. The complexity in both the fundamental and overtone region of the spectra shows that both structures of water are involved in H-bonding. This result indicates a pseudo-first-order reaction in water, either between an open and a more dense state, or between a rigid, strongly H-bonded state and a more loosely H-bonded state. The cross-correlation pattern between the two regions can be ascribed to the temperature-induced variation in the concentration of the two associations.
