Abstract
The structural characteristics of hydrogen bonding in water and ices can be studied by neutron diffraction. This short review concerns recent work on temperature variation and isotopic substitution measurements for the normal and supercooled liquid phase with additional data for solid phases prepared by vapour-deposition and hyperquenched processes. The combined data suggest that the behaviour of low-temperature water can be understood in terms of a systematic evolution of local hydrogen-bonded configurations towards the continuous random hydrogen-bonded network of the amorphous/vitreous ices.
