    In order to understand the effects of the common cations in geofluids on the structure of water, the present paper systematically studied the Raman spectra of NaCl-H2O, CaCl2-H2O, MgCl2-H2O, CuCl2-H2O, ZnCl2-H2O and FeCl3-H2O solutions by two methods. (1) The frequency shifts of the peak maximum around 3 400 cm^-1 in O-H stretching Raman spectra of water reveal the destruction effects of these cations on the structure of water: Ca^2+〉Mg^2+ 〉Na^+, Fe^3+ 〉Zn^2+ 〉 Cu^2+ ; (2) Comparing the intensities of the shoulder peak around 3 250 cm^-1 in the O-H stretching Raman spectra of water. (1) all salts concerned destruct the structure of water; (2)with respect to the same chloride, the destruction extent of hydrogen-bond increases with concentration increasing; (3) comparing different chloride solutions at the same concentration, the destruction effects of catnions on the structure of water decrease in the sequences Ca^2+ 〉Mg^2+〉Na^+ and Fe^3+ 〉Zn^2+ 〉Cu^2+. (4)A hydrogen bond-affected mechanism combining cation destruction with complex compound production is supposed for the first time, and is used to explain the effects of the canions on the structure of water: CaCl2 〉MgCl2 〉FeCl3 〉NaCl〉ZnCl2 〉CuCl2.
