  • Title: The hydrogen bond of water from the perspective of soft X-ray spectroscopy.
    Author: Lange KM, Aziz EF.
    Journal: Chem Asian J; 2013 Feb; 8(2):318-27. PubMed ID: 22945810.
    Abstract:
    Its importance for life and its unusual properties keep water within the focus of ongoing research; this focus especially applies to water in the liquid phase. Scientists agree that the hydrogen-bond network, which is formed by interactions between the water molecules, is key for understanding the anomalies of water. However, a better understanding of the structure of this network, as well as its dynamics, must yet be established. Soft X-ray spectroscopy allows the investigation of the local electronic structure of water by probing the occupied and unoccupied valence molecular orbitals. In this Focus Review, we present soft-X-ray-based techniques, their development in terms of liquid spectroscopy, and recent studies on the hydrogen-bond network of liquid water.
