LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We present a combined experimental/computational study of the near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure of the liquid water surface which indicates that molecules with acceptor-only hydrogen bonding configurations constitute an important and previously unidentified component of the liquid/vapour interface.
