Structural properties of 2-butanol aqueous solutions at different concentrations have been studied using small-and wide-angle Xray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations. The experimental structure factors have been accurately reproduced by the simulations, allowing one to explain their variation with concentration and to achieve a detailed description of the structural and dynamic properties of the studied systems. The analysis of experimental and computational data has shown that 2-butanol, the simplest aliphatic chiral alcohol, tends to form aggregates at a concentration above 1 M, affecting also both the structural and dynamic properties of the solvent.

Abstract

Structural properties of 2-butanol aqueous solutions at different concentrations have been studied using small-and wide-angle Xray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations. The experimental structure factors have been accurately reproduced by the simulations, allowing one to explain their variation with concentration and to achieve a detailed description of the structural and dynamic properties of the studied systems. The analysis of experimental and computational data has shown that 2-butanol, the simplest aliphatic chiral alcohol, tends to form aggregates at a concentration above 1 M, affecting also both the structural and dynamic properties of the solvent.
