摘要：“Ambient water properties have been shown to require heterogeneity” (1) is the imperative followed by Pettersson et al. (2) to relate X-ray spectroscopic findings to a heterogeneous or 2-phase model of ambient water. In ref. 3 we question this hypothesis based on quantitative X-ray spectroscopic evidence. We come to conclude that X-ray spectroscopies support no observations related to heterogeneous, distinct structural motives in ambient water. The critique of sum rules by Pettersson et al. (2) is unjustified: Through normalization to the asymptotic behavior we avoid sum rule normalization of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). In liquid water, extended X-ray absorption fine structure oscillations are less.
