Raman spectra of D-2 in H2O and D2O, both liquid and ice, are presented. Th
e results are compared to previous results on H-2 dissolved in water and in
ice. The vibration-rotation bands shift from their gas-phase frequencies.
The ratios (H-2/D-2) for both the shifts and the widths are about root 2, e
ven though the shifts are in opposite directions in water and in ice, and a
theoretical justification for this is given. The rotational bands of D-2 a
re more difficult to observe than the corresponding H-2 bands, and so a num
erical procedure to extract these bands from the noise has been employed. T
he pure rotational bands of H-2 and D-2 are unshifted in the liquid and shi
fted only slightly, if at all, in the ices. The experimentally observed wid
ths for the H-2 are reproduced by available simulations. The variation in t
he widths for D-2 with J are smaller than those for H-2 in both water and i
ce.
