I�ve been sent an advance copy of a nice review article on �water at solid surfaces� by Marco Maccarini at Heidelberg. It will appear in the September issue of Biointerphases (a journal of the American Vacuum Society), and does a thorough job of reviewing recent work on the nature of water at hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces as revealed by X-ray and neutron reflectivity, SHG and simulation studies.
And on that same topic, there�s a paper in Physical Review Letters (99, 078302) reporting the nature of water at the interface with a phospholipid membrane, based on 2D IR spectroscopy. The authors conclude that there are three types of hydrogen-bonding motif: water molecules bound to zero, one or two OH groups on the lipids, in the relative proportions of about 8:52:40. Can�t immediately see any data about the lifetimes.
