Inelastic incoherent neutron scattering experiments can be used successfully to study the dynamics of ligands and hydrate water molecules. For assignment of the observed signals, however, the investigation of samples with different degrees of deuteration is necessary. The possible intramolecular coupling of the various water bands (OH stretching, H 2 O bending, and H 2 O rocking modes) must be reexamined, as shown with the example of a trinuclear chromium acetate complex.
