We review oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of both molecules and solids. We start
with an overview of the main experimental aspects of oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption …

This review provides a detailed account of density functional theory (DFT) and its application
to the calculation of molecular properties of inorganic compounds. After introducing some …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray Raman scattering were used to probe the
molecular arrangement in the first coordination shell of liquid water. The local structure is …

Water adsorption at metal surfaces is governed by a subtle balance between water–water
hydrogen bonding and water–metal interactions, which together determine the stability of …

An understanding of electron-initiated processes in aqueous systems and the subsequent
radical chemistry these processes induce is significant in such diverse fields as waste …

We present a picture that combines discussions regarding the thermodynamic anomalies in
ambient and supercooled water with recent interpretations of X-ray spectroscopy and …

The structure of liquid water, its role in the solvation of ionic and neutral species, and its
effects on chemical reactions have been the focus of research for over a century, 1-12 and …

We address the adsorption of water on Pt (111) using x-ray absorption, x-ray emission, and x-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy along with calculations in the framework of density …

Here we present an overview of recent developments of X-ray and electron spectroscopy to
probe water at different temperatures. Photon-induced ionization followed by detection of …

The structure of liquid water is presently under intense debate. We summarize the historical
development of the present description of water and the controversy surrounding the X-ray …
