“…Intuitively, one would expect a broad distribution of H-bonding life times, as function of both time and H-bonding distance, centered around some mean representative life time, which could be subsequently searched in the various experimental techniques investigating the relaxation processes. What we uncover here, is that while the distribution of H-bonding distances are indeed as hypothesized, the life time distributions exhibit several specific times, which vary from 1 at very short distances to 3 at larger ones, where the distances are picked around the main peak of the oxygen-oxygen distribution function, typically in the range 2.5 Å to 3.5 Å, this latter value being often used in the literature [46,47,48,49], as in the Luzar paper mentioned above [19]. These specific times, and related distribution, appear as common to all three associated liquids we have investigated herein, namely water, alcohols and amine, and across different force field representation.…”
