Substantial progress has been made in the quantitative understanding and interpretation of the hydrogen bonding and ordering structure of the air/water interface since the first sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) measurement by Q. Du et al. in 1993 (Phys. Rev. Lett 1993, 70, 2312-2316). However, there are still disagreements and controversies on the consistency between the different experimental measurements, as well as in the theoretical and computational results. One critical problem lies in the lack of consistency between the SFG-VS intensity measurements and the recently developed SFG-VS phase spectra measurements of the neat air/water interface, which has inspired various theoretical efforts. In this report, the reliability of the SFG-VS intensity spectra of the air/neat water interface is to be quantitatively examined, and possible sources of inaccuracies in the SFG-VS phase spectral measurement are to be discussed based on the nonresonant SHG phase measurements. Solid evidence is shown indicating that the SFG-VS intensity spectra from different laboratories are now quantitatively converging and in agreement with each other. However, the possible inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the SFG-VS phase spectra measurements need to be carefully examined against a properly corrected phase standard to take full advantage of this powerful experimental tool.
