Chapter 1 is devoted to the application of the Kirkwood–Buff theory of solutions to the investigation of the structures of binary and multicomponent mixtures.

1.1 Kirkwood–Buff integrals in aqueous alcohol systems: comparison between thermodynamic calculations and X - ray scattering experiments.

1.2 Kirkwood–Buff integrals in aqueous alcohol systems: aggregation, correlation volume and local composition.

1.3 Range and energy of interaction at infinite dilution in aqueous solutions of alcohols and hydrocarbons.

1.4 Aggregation in binary solutions containing hexafluorobenzene.

1.5 Hydrophobic self-assembling in dilute aqueous solutions of alcohols and hydrocarbons.

1.6 Effect of a third component on the interactions in a binary mixture determined from the fluctuation theory of solutions.

1.7 The Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions and the local composition of liquid mixtures.

1.8 Excess around a central molecule with application to binary mixtures.

1.9 Reply to Comment on The Kirkwood–Buff theory of solutions and the local composition of liquid mixtures.

1.10 An improved local composition expression and its implications for phase equilibrium models.
