"The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor" by Gerald Pollack is an excellent book with many recent experiments. He models the "fourth phase" as being a lattice of H3O2, which is has a negative charge, to possibly explain phenomenon ranging from blood flow, plant sap flow, cloud formation, surface tension, water vesticules (bubbles & droplets), swelling from injury, etc.

Actual water structure is a long ongoing scientific research topic (I remember my undergrad biochem professor saying "water... you think it's simple then you learn about transient water structures forming in liquid phase" 20+ years ago) and I still see new articles about techniques being used to probe transient structures in liquid water (https://www.nature.com/articles/379055a0). No need to invoke a fourth phase, liquid water on its own is plenty complicated.
