β¦ Synopsis
Light scattering studies of water properties in supramolecular structures of the aqueous solutions of polyoxyethylene non-ionic amphiphiles C10E5 are presented. Raman and Depolarized Rayleigh spectra are studied to obtain the OH stretching vibrational contribution and the rotational relaxational time of water along an isothermal path, crossing the isotropic one-phase region from 0 to 1 amphiphile volume fraction ~b, and at the structural phase transitions at relatively large umphiphiles concentrations. Data analysis of the vibrational mode points out that the structure of bound water presents a local fourfold-coordinated environment, whereas the water rotational dynamics evidences a behavior that depends on the packing effects of the amphiphile aggregates.

## Abstract __We study the structure and dynamics of hydrogenβbonded complexes of H~2~O/D~2~O and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. We find that single water molecules occur in two configurations. For one half of the water monomers both
