We present results of a new trace isotope variation of our recently developed experimental approach in which we use IR-IR pump-probe methods to measure the transition states and relative energies of isomers associated with the negatively charged water clusters. This modification, in which clusters of the form [(D_2O)_6\cdot{H}_2O]^-\cdot{Ar}_{n} are produced, allows us the powerful ability to monitor discrete, site-to-site migration of a lone water molecule as cluster melting and refreezing occurs. This technique works by first systematically disentangling the vibrational spectra of various isotopomers using hole-burning Ar predissociation spectroscopy in a triple-stage time-of-flight mass spectrometer and then monitoring the spectra of fragment ions that are created by photoevaporation of Ar atoms through the various vibrational levels identified in the spectroscopic step.
