Most properties of liquid water are determined by its hydrogen-bond network. Because forming an aqueous interface requires termination of this network, one might expect the molecular level properties of interfacial water to markedly differ…
The hydrogen-bond network of water is characterized by the presence of coordination defects relative to the ideal tetrahedral network of ice, whose fluctuations determine the static and time-dependent properties of the liquid. Because of…

2D-Raman-THz spectroscopy of liquid water, which has been presented recently (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 110, 20402 (2013)), directly probes the intermolecular degrees of freedom of the hydrogen-bond network. However, being a relatively new…
Water clusters are known to form through hydrogen bonding. However, this study shows that the formation of very small water clusters significantly deviates from this mechanism and instead involves both hydrogen bonding and electron…
