Preferential solvation in mixed solvents. Part 6.—Binary mixtures containing methanol, ethanol, acetone or triethylamine and another organic solvent

Abstract

The preferential solvation in binary mixtures containing methanol, ethanol, acetone or triethylamine and another organic solvent has been examined by means of the quasi-lattice quasi-chemical (QLQC) and inverse Kirkwood–Buff integrals (IKBI) methods. The results are expressed in terms of the composition of the environment close to a given molecule in the mixtures, and are rationalized in terms of the interactions that take place in them.
