Abstract
Following excitation of the H-O-H bending mode of pure liquid water, the stretching mode is monitored over its entire spectral width. The anharmonic coupling between the two modes results in a substantial change of the transient stretch absorption that decays with the bend depopulation time. Unlike in the gas phase, the stretch transition shifts to the blue, which is a direct consequence of the weakened hydrogen-bond network.
