In this work we study by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy the dynamics of the different water clusters that form within a solution with LiCl at eutectic concentration in the temperature range 320-205 K. This solution is considered a model system allowing the investigation of water properties in the deep supercooled regime in its bulk phase. Our data reveal two important dynamical changes occurring at two relevant temperatures for water: the highest temperature coincides with that of the water density maximum (277 K) and the lowest with that of the so-called dynamical crossover (225 K). We interpret our data in terms of the different influence that the ions exert on water by lowering the temperature and of the tendency that water displays to develop its characteristic hydrogen bond network.

Abstract
In this work we study by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy the dynamics of the different water clusters that form within a solution with LiCl at eutectic concentration in the temperature range 320-205 K. This solution is considered a model system allowing the investigation of water properties in the deep supercooled regime in its bulk phase. Our data reveal two important dynamical changes occurring at two relevant temperatures for water: the highest temperature coincides with that of the water density maximum (277 K) and the lowest with that of the so-called dynamical crossover (225 K). We interpret our data in terms of the different influence that the ions exert on water by lowering the temperature and of the tendency that water displays to develop its characteristic hydrogen bond network.
