The present high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering experiment on ice XVII, containing molecular hydrogen with a different ortho/para ratio, allows one to assign the H-2 motion spectral bands to rotational and center-of-mass translational transitions of either para-or ortho-H-2. Due to its structure, ice XVII confines H-2 molecules to move in spiral channels of molecular size. Reported data demonstrate that H-2 molecules rotate almost freely in these nanometric channels, though showing larger perturbation than in clathrate hydrates, and perform a translational motion exhibiting two low-frequency excitations. The agreement between the experimental spectra and the corresponding molecular dynamics results clearly enables one to portray a picture of the confined motions of a hydrophobic guest within a metastable ice framework, i.e., ice XVII.
