K. Jerie et al., THE ROLE OF HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTIONS IN STRUCTURE OF AQUEOUS NONELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS FROM POSITRON-ANNIHILATION MEASUREMENTS, Journal de physique. IV, 3(C4), 1993, pp. 135-137
The experimental results of positron annihilation and sound velocity e
xperiments in aqueous solutions of formamide and ethyl alcohol are com
pared. The concentration dependences of annihilation parameters and of
adiabatic compressibility differ significantly for these systems, ind
icating hydrophobic hydration occuring in the case of water-alcohol sy
stem and hydrophilic one in the case of water-formamide.
