ABSTRACT We have recorded photodetachement spectra for cold water cluster anions. By a careful analysis of the spectral shape, we show that the spectral feature assigned to isomer I in previous work [1] has to be seen as the mix of the contributions from two classes of isomers with a slightly different VDE. As size increases, only the high binding energy contribution is left. Together with recent results from Ref[2], this allows to thinking of an alternative scenario for the electron internalization involving clear structural transitions. On the other hand, we note a particularly non monotonic behaviour of the recorded VDE with respect to size in the range n = 50 to 56, which is correlated with a marked structure in the measured mass spectrum.
