Abstract: We study a model for water with a tunable intra-molecular interaction $J_��$, using mean field theory and off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations. For all $J_��\geq 0$, the model displays a temperature of maximum density.For a finite intra-molecular interaction $J_��> 0$,our calculations support the presence of a liquid-liquid phase transition with a possible liquid-liquid critical point for water, likely pre-empted by inevitable freezing. For J=0 the liquid-liquid critical point disappears at T=0.
