Theoretical models of proton hydration with tens of water molecules indicate that the excess proton is embedded on the surface of clathrate-like cage structures with one or two water molecules in the interior. The evidence for these structures has been indirect, however, because the experimental spectra in the critical H-bonding region of the OH stretching vibrations have been too diffuse to provide band patterns that distinguish between candidate structures predicted theoretically. Here we expl ...[more]
