Elucidating the structure of the interface between natural (reduced) anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> (101) and water is an essential step toward understanding the associated photoassisted water splitting mechanism. Here we present surface X-ray diffraction results for the room temperature interface with ultrathin and bulk water, which we explain by reference to density functional theory calculations. We find that both interfaces contain a 25:75 mixture of molecular H<sub>2</sub>O and terminal OH bound t ...[more]
