X-Ray Analysis of the Structure of Water

Morgan, J., Warren, B. E.·1938·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

X-ray diffraction patterns of water were obtained at five temperatures: 1.5°, 13°, 30°, 62°, and 83°C. The radiation was Cu Kα and Mo Kα, monochromated by reflection from a rocksalt crystal. Radial distribution curves for water at the five temperatures were obtained by a Fourier analysis of the x-ray intensity curves. The first peak is only partially resolved, and it is not possible to interpret the distribution curves uniquely in terms of a definite number of neighbors at definite distances. The results can be interpreted in terms of a structure in which the tendency of a water molecule to bond itself tetrahedrally to 4 neighboring molecules is only partially satisfied.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
