Methanol-ethanol mixtures under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure are studied by computer simulations, with the aim to sort out how the ideality of this type of mixtures differs from that of a textbook example of an ideal mixture. This study reveals two types of ideality, one which is related to simple disorder, such as in benzene-cyclohexane mixtures, and another found in complex disorder mixtures of associated liquids. It underlines the importance of distinguishing between…

Thermodynamic, structural and dynamic properties of selected non-associative neat liquids.
TLDR
Non-associative neat liquids benzene, acetone and carbon tetrachloride have been examined via molecular dynamics simulations and the general trends of the calculated data provide a benchmark for the behavior of neat simple liquids which will be built upon in the cases of mixtures with associative liquids.
On the X-ray Scattering Pre-peak of Linear Mono-ols and the Related Micro-structure from Computer Simulations.
TLDR
The analysis clearly shows that it is not possible to obtain a model free explanation of the features of I(k), and the flexibility of the alkyl tails tend to reduce the cross contributions, thus revealing the crucial importance of this parameter in the models.
On the nature of structural fluctuations in complex liquids
The analysis of different types of structuring, present in simple and complex liquids and their mixtures, was done using the method of molecular dynam

Simple and complex disorder in binary mixtures with benzene as a common solvent.
TLDR
Substituting benzene for water in computer simulations of binary mixtures allows one to study the various forms of disorder, without the complications often encountered in aqueous mixtures, and confirms the existence of a pre-peak in the structure factor associated with the micro-heterogeneity.
Revisiting aqueous-acetone mixtures through the concept of molecular emulsions.
TLDR
It is demonstrated, through a proper handling of the tail of the correlation functions, that these high values of the Kirkwood-Buff integrals represent in fact a transient regime within the segregated spatial domains, and that they asymptotically settle down to values in much better agreement with the experimental ones.
A comparison of force fields for ethanol–water mixtures
Aqueous ethanol mixtures are studied through molecular dynamics simulations with the focus on exploring how various force field models reproduce the association and its influence on selected…
On the nature of the molecular ordering of water in aqueous DMSO mixtures.
TLDR
The study shows that these mixtures become closer to the emulsion type seen in aqueous alcohol mixtures, with more globular clustering of the water molecules, long range domain oscillations in the water-water correlations and increased water- water Kirkwood-Buff integrals.
Fluctuations and micro-heterogeneity in aqueous mixtures.
TLDR
This study provides a new insight for the large values of the experimental Kirkwood-Buff integrals for many aqueous mixtures, in a Lifshitz-type regime, where concentration fluctuations compete with water domain formation.
Modeling nonionic aqueous solutions: the acetone-water mixture.
TLDR
It is argued herein that deficiencies of existing classical water and acetone models provide an insightful picture of the microscopic structure of the solution, particularly into the relation between the hydrogen-bond network and the concentration fluctuations, as well as the role played by the solute in their spatial organization.

The Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions and the local composition of liquid mixtures.
TLDR
The application of the new procedure to the ternary mixture water/protein/cosolvent at infinite dilution of the protein led to almost the same results as the methods involving a reference state.
Aqueous tert-butanol mixtures: a model for molecular-emulsions.
TLDR
The issue of whether or not the Kirkwood-Buff integrals represent solely concentration fluctuations is settled by showing the contribution of the micro-heterogeneity to these integrals through the presence of an associated pre-peak in the structure factors.
