Femtosecond two-color mid-infrared pump−probe spectroscopy is used to study the vibrational relaxation and the hydrogen-bond dynamics of HDO dissolved in liquid H 2 O. By looking at the spectral dynamics of the OD stretch mode, direct information on the hydrogen-bond dynamics of the H 2 O solvent is obtained. By fitting the data using the Brownian oscillator model, we determined the vibrational lifetime of the OD stretch vibration and the hydrogen-bond length correlation time. The hydrogen-bond correlation time of H 2 O is significantly shorter than for D 2 O, found previously.
