Abstract

Water is one of the simplest molecule, but its physical properties in the condensed phases are quite complex. For example, there are more than 16 ice polymorphs and hypothetically two liquid phases. Water is the only liquid that expands when cooled. These complexities originate in hydrogen bond network structures. We regard these phases as graphs and investigate the relationship between topology and properties.
