Outline of Final Research Achievements

We present evidences supporting structural entity of magnetic field-affecting water (MFA water) prepared by magnetic treatment (MT) of pure water dissolving O2. We tried to examine in-situ Raman spectra of MFA water developing during MT and confirm the formation of the specific species. The difference Raman spectra of MFA water were very similar to those of clathrate hydrate or supercooled water, suggesting that the species may be O2 clathrate-like hydrate. Also, the induction period as well as memory effects were observed in the decrease of both viscosity and contact angle and the increase in Raman intensity of MFA water. Moreover, an MFA water structure was propagated to normal water by mixing.
MFA water also may affect the formation of various materials, silica gels, CaCO3, and a porous coordination polymer, especially at the initial formation stage. Thus, MFA water is one of green solvents having various properties which depends on the degree of magnetic treatment.
