Abstract
Near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy and density functional theory were used to characterize the hydrogen bond acceptor molecules at the water surface. A new population of interfacial molecules in addition to the single-donor configurations were observed by X-ray absorption. The total-ion-yield (TIY) liquid surface measurements exhibited fully resolved peaks and were observed to be broader and unshifted in energy relative to their gas-phase analogues. The results were in good agreement with the X-ray Raman and total-fluorescence-yield studies of bulk liquid water.
