Abstract

Abstract : An atomic‐level picture of the structural evolution of water on the anisotropic ZnO(10 1 ‾ 0) surface was investigated by Y. Wang, C. Wöll et al. in their Research Article on page 17751 ff. by combining experiment and theory. IR spectroscopic evidence of isolated, intact D2 O monomers is provided. The hydration proceeds further through an autocatalytic dissociation of dimers, followed by the formation of a mixed 2D D2 O/OD adlayer and various complex H‐bonded 3D structures.
