At the molecular – supramolecular border lie water clusters. Such molecular water clusters, W i , for i =2 to i =10, have been used to discuss some fundamental problems, such as the covalent nature of hydrogen bonds, the properties of bulk water, and their conformations. The picture represents some examples of W 8 .
