Hydration at Highly Crowded Interfaces

Phys. Rev. Lett.: An unexpected "inside-out" solvation pattern was observed by studying Cs+ hydration on a Cu(111) surface. Using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods they found Cs+ ions favoring the edges of water clusters on the metal surface and the formation of water-Cs complexes with multiple Cs+ ions.
