The local structure of liquid water has been systematically investigated with Raman spectroscopy in a temperature range of 10 oC to 70 oC. It is found five spectra components respond differently to the temperatures. Comparison with the Raman spectra of little water in some organic solvents, the unbonded free -OH (-OD) stretching vibration band has been observed at ~3630 cm-1 (~2655 cm-1) in liquid water. With the aid of the theoretical calculations of larger kinds of water with different hydrogen bond pattern, the other strong spectra components have been identified and assigned to the -OH (-OD) stretching vibration band of the water molecules that form different kinds of hydrogen bond structure. Below the free OH stretching region, the four components were assigned as the vibration of the water molecules with the local structure of donor-donor-acceptor (DDA), distorted donor-donor-acceptor-acceptor (DDAA), ordered DDAA, and donor-acceptor- acceptor (DAA) configurations. Furthermore, the distribution of these kinds of water molecules and its temperature dependence have been derived from the reasonable spectral decomposition, which lead to the conclusion that the average number of shydrogen bond per water molecules in liquid is decreased from ~3.8 at 10 oC to ~3.5 at 70 oC.
