Water confined in nonionic fluorocarbon reverse micelles was investigated through mid-infrared spectroscopy (OH stretching and bending modes), in combination with quasielastic light scattering data. The characteristic OH stretching band is seen to exhibit significant changes upon decreasing water core size. An analysis in terms of three different levels of water connectivity has allowed the estimation of the extent of perturbation of water dynamics as a function of confining size.
