The structure of the hydrogen bond network of water at ambient and in supercooled conditions is controversially discussed, e.g. with respect to a mixture of two phases, LDW (low density water) and HDW (high density water). HDW and LDW phases differ fundamentally in respect of the local structure, with the high density phase showing a highly disturbed OH bonding network and the low density phase showing a nearly tetrahedral coordinated water network. Recently inelastic neutron scattering studies reported a disturbance of the water network at slight supercooling. We investigated changes in the local molecular structure in supercooled water for temperatures down to 256 K by x-ray Compton scattering and found evidence for structural changes which will be discussed on the basis of different structure models.
