[IR-luminescence of low-stability aqueous structures (theory and experiment)].

The effect of IR luminescence in liquid water was registered. A theory was suggested according to which the bands of IR luminescence are related to the presence of clusters (clathrates) in water. The effect arises in water exposed to low-intensity electromagnetic oscillations. Under strong exposure, the decomposition of luminescent structures takes place. A quantitative theory was proposed and the spectrum of water luminescence for the region of strain oscillations was calculated. A good agrement between the theory and experimental data was obtained.
