E. Delgiudice et al., ELECTRODYNAMIC COHERENCE IN WATER - A POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF THE TETRAHEDRAL COORDINATION, Modern physics letters B, 9(15), 1995, pp. 953-961
In the conceptual framework of Coherent Quantum Electrodynamics we sho
w that the molecules of liquid phase are described by individual quant
um states that differ from those in which the molecules find themselve
s while in the gas phase. We suggest that tetrahedral coordination eme
rges from such individual configurations.
