ABSTRACT. We here present an approach for the optical in situ characterization of hydrogen

11

bond networks in binary mixtures of water and organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol and

12

acetonitrile. Hydrogen bond networks are characterized based on (i) the analysis of experimental

13

molar Raman spectra of the mixture, (ii) partial molar Raman spectra of the mixture constituents

14

and (iii) computed ideal molar Raman spectra of the mixture. Especially the consideration of the

15

partial molar Raman spectra provides insights into the development of hydrogen bonds of

16

molecules of one species to their neighbors. The obtained Raman spectra are evaluated with

17

respect to the centroid of the symmetric stretching vibration Raman signal of water and to the

18

hydroxyl stretching vibration of alcohols. We show the influence of composition and

1 Introduction

22

Binary mixtures of water and an organic solvent as acetonitrile, methanol or ethanol are

23

miscible in a single liquid and transparent phase over the entire composition range at moderate

24

temperature and pressure. These binary mixtures have in common that their electric conductivity,

25

their permittivity, their specific volume, enthalpy of mixing or their scattering behavior exhibit a

26

non-monotonic behavior when regarded as a function of the composition of the mixture. A

27

controversial discussion about the origin of this non-monotonic behavior has grown over the last

28

70 years and still theories of the intermolecular interactions in these mixtures are ambiguous. As

29

the “organic solvent” contains a hydrophobic part, the terms “hydrophobic solvation” or

30

“hydrophobic effects” can summarize all the subsequently mentioned theories.

31

The most debated theory is the so called “iceberg theory” from Frank and Evans who

32

discussed in 1945 entropic anomalies in several water diluted binary mixtures.1 They have

33

chosen the term iceberg because they proposed that water molecules surrounding a strong diluted

34

hydrophobic or amphiphile compound create a stronger hydrogen bond network to their water

35

neighbors – like in ice – than those in bulk water. Later, in accordance to the hydration of salt

36

ions dissolved in water, also the term “hydrophobic hydration” was common2–5 in order to

37

describe the development of “hydrate-like” or “ice-like” formations of water molecules.6 This

38

concept was confirmed2,7–11 but also challenged12–16 by experimental and theoretical

39

investigations. However, not only the formation of water molecules in these mixtures is under

40

discussion. For example, other theories about the development of

41

 hydrophobic/amphiphile clusters at low concentration of the hydrophobic/amphiphile compound,4,14,19,22–24,30,32,33

47 48

 water clusters at low water concentration,13,22,30,34–36

49

 greater percolating networks of water and the hydrophobic/amphiphile compound around equimolar compositions,15,20,22,27,37–41

50 51

 hydrophilic and hydrophobic/amphiphile clusters over a broad composition range,42– 44

52

and

53

 a complete and homogeneous mixing over a defined composition range28,31,32

54

contribute to the current debate. This incomplete above listed abstract of the debate about

55

liquid binary water/alcohol and water/nitrile mixtures shows the dispute and the challenging task

56

to draw a complete and coherent picture from the comprehensive results stemming from

57

thermodynamic studies, molecular dynamic simulations and a variety of measurement

58

techniques.

59

Common to the systems analyzed in the above listed studies is that their molecular formation

60

and the dominant intermolecular forces are strongly influenced by the development of a

61

hydrogen bond network (HBN). The unique ability of water to form as many hydrogen (H)-

62

bonds as covalent bonds per molecule45 is supposed to be one reason for the abnormalities

63

observable in these mixtures. As the intermolecular H-bonds affect the intramolecular covalent

64

bonds of water and alcohols, spectroscopic analysis of the intramolecular covalent bond

65

vibrations is – beside thermodynamic and theoretical studies – often used to investigate into the

66

intramolecular HBN of the mixture. In this context infrared (IR) absorption is one frequently

67

applied spectroscopic technique. For example, Takamuku et al. investigated water/acetonitrile

mixtures over the whole composition range with X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy.29 At

69

acetonitrile (Acn) molar fractions of 𝑥𝐴𝑐𝑛 < 0.6 the “X-ray radial distribution functions and IR

70

spectra suggested that the hydrogen bond network of water is enhanced”. Furthermore within the

71

composition range 0.2 < 𝑥𝐴𝑐𝑛 < 0.6 they observed a microheterogeneity with coexisting water

72

and acetonitrile clusters. They supposed that the clustering is an explanation for the maximum of

73

the enthalpy of mixing at 𝑥𝐴𝑐𝑛 = 0.6. Many other examples of the application of IR spectroscopy

74

can be found in the literature.20,21,46–50

75

Raman spectroscopy is an alternative and also frequently applied technique for the

76

investigation into HBN.7,11,31,38,51–53 In 2012, Lin et al. evaluated polarized Raman spectra from

77

different water/alcohol mixtures (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and n-propanol) over the whole

78

composition range.31 The stronger the intermolecular interactions are, the slower are the

79

translational motions that can be deducted from the Raman spectra. They observed a sharp

80

increase in the translational relaxation time during the addition of small amounts of alcohol to

81

water and interpreted this with the development of water hydration shells around the alcohol

82

molecules. In the water rich regime, they interpreted this as a confirmation for the “iceberg

83

model”.

84

In contrast to the majority of previous Raman investigations we here do not analyze the Raman

85

spectrum of the mixture as a whole, but separate the shares originating from each species in the

86

mixture. This makes possible the extraction of information about the involvement of each species

87

in the HBN in the mixture. The information about the development of the HBN is deduced from

88

the symmetric stretching vibration of water and of the OH stretching vibration of alcohols.

89

Unfortunately, both Raman signatures completely overlap in the spectral range of Raman shifts

90

between 3000 cm-1 and 3800 cm-1. Therefore, we introduce a method for the efficient separation

of the two overlapping Raman signatures that is based on the consideration of partial molar

92

spectra. Finally, from the analysis of the partial molar spectra of each compound in the mixture

93

information about the role of this compound in the HBN network can be gathered, while the

94

analysis of the spectrum of the mixture provides information of the overall development of the

95

HBN.

2.1 Materials

98

Experiments were carried out with acetonitrile (Acn) (Merck LiChrosolv®, purity > 99.9 %,

99

Germany), methanol (MeOH) (VWR HiPerSolv®, purity > 99.8 %, USA), ethanol (EtOH)

100

(Merck Uvasol®, purity > 99.9 %, Germany) and distilled water (W) (KERNDL, conductivity

101

< 10 μS cm-1, Germany).

102

2.2 Experimental setup

103

The binary mixtures were analyzed via Raman spectroscopy in a microcapillary setup (MCS)

104

that according to Figure 1 consists of the microcapillary itself (1), three syringe pumps (2) and

105

(2-1), a microcapillary heating system (3) and a Raman system (4).

The investigated compounds (water and organic solvent) flow through the MCS from a starting

112

point to an end, wherefore the functionality of the MCS and the function of its components will

113

be described along the flow direction. At the starting point, two of the three syringe pumps ((2)

114

in Figure 1) (2x Teledyne Isco 100 DX, USA) one containing water and the other one containing

115

either MeOH, EtOH or Acn reduce their volumes to feed a specific volume flow (+-1 µl min-1)

116

into the MCS. The three-way valves next to the outlets of the syringe pumps serve for the

117

refill/renew or the cleaning of the respective syringe pump. Within the subsequent T-junction,

118

the two fed compounds merge and mix within a stainless steel capillary (ID = 1 mm,

119

length = 0.6 m) from which 0.25 m are located within the heating system area (3), to preheat the

120

mixture before it reaches the fused silica microcapillary. The temperature conditioning of the

binary mixture is assured by the microcapillary heating system (3). A fan channels air above a

122

heating coil according to the simple principle of a hairdryer whereupon a nozzle guides the

123

heated air laminar along the fused silica microcapillary ((1) in Figure 1). A controller (JUMO,

124

iTRON 32, Switzerland) that receives the temperature actual value from a temperature sensor

125

located 5 mm beside the measuring volume automatically determines the heating power of the

126

heating coil required for a certain temperature set point. The transition from the stainless steel

127

capillary towards the fused silica microcapillary (ID = 700 µm, OD = 850 µm) (Molex,

128

Polymicro TechnologiesTM) is sealed by a PEEK sleeve – located between the stainless steel

129

capillary and the fused silica microcapillary – and two component glue. Further downstream,

130

immediately after the transition from the microcapillary to a short stainless steel capillary, a

131

Coriolis densitometer (Bronkhorst, Mini Cori-Flow ML120, Germany) determines the density

132

and the mass flow of the mixture. The Coriolis densitometer is conditioned to exactly the

133

temperature and the pressure of the fluid mixture in the measuring volume. A further stainless

134

steel capillary connects the Coriolis densitometer with the third syringe pump ((2-1) in Figure 1)

135

(Teledyne Isco 500 D). This pump runs reverse and takes up the binary mixture in a way that the

136

desired pressure within the entire microcapillary path is constant. According to the maximal

137

volume flow of the summation of all delivered compounds of 220 µl min-1 the maximal flow rate

138

is 0.95 cm s-1 at the lowest inner diameter of the MCS. The pressure indications of the two feed

139

pumps at the start point of the MCS and the one reverse running pump at the end point of the

140

MCS do not show a measurable pressure drop along the MCS.

141

The Raman system ((4) in Figure 1) whereof the Raman sensor is sketched, includes also the

142

excitation continuous wave diode pumped solid-state laser (SmabaTM, Cobolt, 531.93 nm,

143

0.250 W, Sweden) and for the signal detection a spectrometer (QE Pro, Ocean Optics, 100 µm

145

An optical fiber (F1) guides the excitation laser beam towards the Raman sensor where the beam

146

is collimated (L1) and reflected through a high power microscope objective (High Power

147

MicroSpot LMH-20x, ThorLabs, NA = 0.4, USA) (O) that focuses the excitation laser beam into

148

the probe volume in the center of the microcapillary (C). The high NA of the microscope

149

objective ensures that no signals from the microcapillary walls reach the spectrometer and

150

interfere with the desired Raman signal of the fluids contained inside the capillary. An aperture

151

before the objective (S) lets pass only the high intensity part of the laser beam with originally a

152

Gaussian intensity profile. The red-shifted Raman signal scattered in the probe volume passes

153

straight the dichroitic mirror (reflecting wavelengths smaller than 535 nm and transmitting

154

wavelengths larger than 535 nm) (D) whereon a razor edge long-pass filter (R) blocks the

155

remaining elastically scattered light. The second lens (L2: f = 60 mm and Ø = 25.4 mm;

156

NA = 0.21) focuses the Raman signals into the detection fiber (core Ø = 200 µm) (F2). The

157

detection fiber guides the detected signals to the spectrometer.

2.3 Raman spectra acquisition using MCS

160

At the beginning of each experimental run, we flush the system with pure liquid water at the

161

desired temperature of 308 K, 318 K or 328 K. Therefore, the first water containing syringe

162

pump delivers 200 µL min-1 of water until the pressure within the third syringe pump at the end

163

of the microcapillary reaches 0.4 MPa. Now the third syringe pump starts to run reverse and

164

takes up the fed water in a way that the pressure within the MCS remains constant at 0.4 MPa.

165

We record the first Raman spectra from pure water at the set temperature that corresponds to a

166

mixture composition of the molar fraction 𝑥𝑊 = 1. Afterwards, the second syringe pump

167

containing either Acn, EtOH or MeOH starts delivering the compound into the MCS while at the

168

same time the feed flow of the water is reduced accordingly. The two compounds mix at the T-

169

junction and stream afterwards through the stainless steel capillary through the heating system,

170

before the mixture enters the fused silica microcapillary. Via the set flow rates of the two feed

171

syringe pumps the composition of the mixture inside the capillary system can be adjusted. For

172

example, 152 µl min-1 ethanol and 47 µl min-1 water were set to achieve an equimolar binary

173

mixture. The overall volumetric flow rate with respect to the summation of the pure substances

174

water and solvent is kept between 200-220 µL min-1. The small flow velocities (less than 1 cm s-

system, before they pass the Raman measurement location. Gradually the composition of the

177

binary mixture is varied from pure water 𝑥𝑊 = 1 to pure organic solvent 𝑥𝑊 = 0. When the

178

mixture is varied from one composition to the next one, it takes approximately 20 minutes to

179

reach stationary conditions. Stationary conditions are firstly indicated by the stationary and non-

180

fluctuating mixture density and mass flow (Coriolis) and secondly by a constant Raman

181

spectrum. At the end of the experimental run, the MCS is flushed (200 µL min-1) with the

182

organic solvent in order to record a pure organic solvent spectrum 𝑥𝑊 = 0. During the entire

183

procedure, the mixture density and the mass flow are recorded (Coriolis). The density of the

184

mixture is required to convert the molar compositions (mol mol-1) of the mixture into

185

concentrations (mol L-1).

assure that the fluids inside the capillary adopt the temperature of the air inside the heating

186

For each stationary mixture composition 100 Raman spectra are taken with an exposure time

187

of 3.4 s spectrum-1. Consequently, the acquisition of 100 Raman spectra takes ~340 s per

188

adjusted mixture composition. The Raman spectra are processed and evaluated with respect to

194

“OH stretching vibration” from now on refers to the symmetric stretching vibration of water

195

and to the OH stretching vibration of the hydroxyl functional group of alcohols. For every single

196

analyzed mixture composition, a mean spectrum is averaged from the 100 Raman spectra. Each

197

experiment was triplicated, in total on three different days. The standard deviation of the

198

triplication is provided as error bars in the figures that follow.

199

Figure 2 summarizes from the top to the bottom how the mean spectra were treated in order to

200

determine (i) the experimental molar Raman spectra of the mixture and (ii) the partial molar

201

Raman spectra of the mixture constituents. A detailed description of the chain of processing the

202

spectra is provided in the supporting information (SI). Here a short overview is given.

the average development of the HBN of the mixture. The stronger the HBN is developed, the less

4 Results and Discussion

275

Figure 4 shows the centroid positions of the molar OH Raman spectra of the three binary

276

mixtures water/methanol (W/MeOH), water/ethanol (W/EtOH) and water/acetonitrile (W/Acn)

277

as a function of the water molar fraction in the mixture 𝑥𝑊. The centroids 𝜈𝑂𝐻 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑟 computed from

𝑂𝐻,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 the centroids 𝜈𝑂𝐻,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 computed from the ideal mixture spectra 𝑠𝑂𝐻,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑊/𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝜈𝑆), 𝑠𝑊/𝐸𝑡𝑂𝐻(𝜈𝑆) and 𝑚𝑖𝑥

280

𝑠𝑂𝐻,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑊/𝐴𝑐𝑛 (𝜈𝑆) are given as black crosses. The very right values (𝑥𝑊 = 1) represent the centroid

281

positions of the OH Raman spectrum of pure water and the very left values (𝑥𝑊 = 0) represent

282

the centroid positions for the OH Raman spectrum of pure organic solvents. While the alcohols

283

MeOH and EtOH feature an OH Raman signal, Acn – simply due to the lack of the hydroxyl

284

group – does not feature an OH Raman signal. Therefore, no data points are given for pure Acn (

285

𝑥𝑊 = 0). The Acn-richest W/Acn mixture, in which the OH Raman spectrum of water is still

286

observable is 𝑥𝑊 = 0.02 (see supporting information). Therefore, only in the case of W/Acn the

287

ideal mixture spectra 𝑠𝑂𝐻,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑊/𝐴𝑐𝑛 (𝜈𝑆) were not computed according to equation (2) but according to 𝑠𝑂𝐻,𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑊/𝐴𝑐𝑛 (𝜈𝑆) =

computed as always according to equation (3).

Here negative values imply that the HBN represented by the mixture real spectrum is more

developed than the HBN represented by the mixture ideal spectrum. Vice versa, positive values

imply that the HBN shown by the mixture real spectrum is less developed than in the ideal one.

It should be underlined here that according to equation (2) the ideal molar OH Raman spectra

mixture not simply is a weighted average of the HBN of the pure compounds but the result of a

322

Figure 5 shows that the negative deviations of ∆𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙𝜈𝑂𝐻 𝑚𝑖𝑥 increase with decreasing temperature

323

and that the positive deviations of ∆𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙𝜈𝑂𝐻 𝑚𝑖𝑥 increase with increasing temperature. Therefore,

324

cold temperatures support the formation of HBN in real mixtures that are more intense than in

325

ideal mixtures. Warm temperatures support the formation of HBN that are less intense than in the

326

ideal mixture case. The HBN deviations from the ideal mixture behavior can explain the

327

anomalies found for the respective mixtures with respect to their density, their conductivity and

328

other properties.27,55–58 ∆𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙𝜈𝑂𝐻 𝑚𝑖𝑥 was found to be most temperature sensitive for the system

329

W/Acn. This can be explained by the proximity of the analyzed temperatures to the upper critical

solution temperature of this binary system, which at ambient pressure is at 272 K.59

diagrams show the centroid position of the partial molar Raman spectrum of water in the mixture

this context, water-HBN refers to the HBN that water molecules develop to their neighbors,

which can be other water molecules and/or organic solvent molecules. The lower three diagrams

338

show vice versa the centroid position of the partial molar Raman spectrum of the organic solvent

339

(OS) in the mixture with water and thus represent the development of the OS-HBN of the

340

mixture. In this context, OS-HBN refers to the HBN that organic solvent molecules develop to

341

their neighbors, which can be other organic solvent molecules and/or water molecules.

𝑂𝐻 For pure water 𝑥𝑤 = 1 it can be seen that 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) and 𝑣𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝑊) increase with increasing

344

temperature. Thus, the water-HBN and the OS-HBN get less developed with increasing

temperature.

For molar fractions 1 > 𝑥𝑊 > 0.8 (regime 1) 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) decreases to a minimum at 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.8,

352

when pure water is diluted with MeOH. This means that in regime 1 the water-HBN develops

353

stronger the more MeOH is added to the mixture until a maximum is reached at 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.8. On the

The Journal of Physical Chemistry

354

contrary 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝑊) (lower diagram in Figure 6) increases in the same regime when MeOH is

355

added to pure water to a maximum at 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.8. This implies that MeOH at 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.8 develops

356

least H-bonds to its neighbors. Obviously the minimum of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) and the maximum of

357

𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝑊) can be found at the same mixture composition 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.8, meaning that the maximum

358

development of the water-HBN exists when the minimum development of the OS-HBN exists.

359

These observations are in support of theories that suppose a formation of an intense water-HBN

360

around organic solvent molecules, where the organic solvent molecules participate the less in the

361

HBN, the more intense the water-HBN growth. This development turns around in the

362

composition regime 2 for molar fractions 0.8 > 𝑥𝑊 > 0.2. With the addition of more MeOH

363

𝑂𝐻 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) increases and 𝑣𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝑊) decreases. Therefore, the water-HBN gets less developed and

364

the OS-HBN develops stronger in regime 2 with the addition of more MeOH. One explanation is

365

that when more than 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.8 MeOH molecules are present in the mixture, their dissolution is no

366

more accomplished by surrounding them in a strong water-HBN, but by integrating them into the

367

HBN of the mixture. Therefore, the OS-HBN gets more intense, while the water-HBN gets less

368

intense. At the left border of regime 2 for mixture compositions of 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.2 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) shows a

369

local maximum while 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝑊) has already reached approximately the value that we also

370

measured for pure MeOH 𝑥𝑊 = 0. The local maximum of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) implies that at 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.2

371

water molecules develop least H-bonds to their neighbors. Diluting the mixture with even more

372

MeOH in regime 3, which covers the compositions 0.2 > 𝑥𝑊 > 0.0, shows that 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻(𝑊) remains

373

at a constant level, irrespectively of the mixture composition. Thus, the development of the OS-

374

HBN seems not to be influenced by the mixture composition in regime 3. This is different for

375

𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻), whose course in regime 3 very much depends on the mixture composition and on

376

temperature. At 308 K 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) decreases with increasing MeOH content in the mixture. This

377

indicates that the water molecules develop the more H-bonds to their neighbors, the more MeOH

378

is in the mixture. As at the same time the OS-HBN remains unaltered, we speculate that in

379

regime 3 water molecules tend to develop H-bonds preferentially to other water molecules and

380

seem to avoid MeOH molecules. This interpretation is in agreement with the theory of the

381

formation of water-rich and MeOH-rich sub-micro domains (nanostructured fluids) that were

382

found in water/alcohol mixtures.13,22,30 At 328 K 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) shows a local minimum at 𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.1.

383

Therefore, the accumulation of water molecules in water-rich sub-micro domains, in which the

384

water molecules tend to develop H-bonds mainly to other water-molecules, has a maximum at

385

𝑥𝑊 ≈ 0.1. In mixtures that at 328 K are even richer in MeOH 0.1 > 𝑥𝑊 > 0.0, these nanodomains

386

disintegrate again, which is represented by the increase of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) towards 𝑥𝑊 = 0.

387

What has been described above for the mixture W/MeOH can be transferred directly to the

388

mixture W/EtOH. Therefore, we skip the description of the mixture W/EtOH. Nonetheless, the

389

mixture compositions at which transitions from regime 1 to regime 2 and from regime 2 to

390

regime 3 occur are slightly different. For both systems W/MeOH and W/EtOH the composition

391

at which the transition from regime 1 to regime 2 occurs (local minima of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝑀𝑒𝑂𝐻) and

392

𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝐸𝑡𝑂𝐻)) coincide with the composition range at which the binary systems feature the extremes

393

of their molar excess enthalpy.

394

In the mixture, W/Acn the course of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝐴𝑐𝑛) as a function of the mixture composition is very

395

different compared to the mixtures W/MeOH and W/EtOH. When diluting water with Acn

396

𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝑊(𝐴𝑐𝑛) increases monotonically. Therefore the water-HBN is weakened the more, the more Acn

397

is added to the mixture. Putting this observation into the context of the known existence of

water-rich and acetonitrile-rich clusters for mixture compositions 0.4 < 𝑥𝑊 < 0.8,29,60 we must

399

conclude that the water-HBN in the water-rich clusters are less developed than in pure water. It

400

has been mentioned already above that the partial molar Raman spectrum of Acn contains an OH

401

Raman signal, though the Acn molecule does not feature an OH vibration. This is due to the fact

402

that partial molar properties show how the molar property of a mixture changes when

403

infinitesimal small amounts of Acn are added to the mixture. Thus, the partial molar Raman

404

spectrum of Acn shows how the OH Raman signal of the mixture is influenced when the mixture

405

is diluted with Acn. In this context large values of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝐴𝑐𝑛(𝑊) imply that Acn interacts with water

406

molecules that develop a less intense HBN and small values of 𝑣𝑂𝐻 𝐴𝑐𝑛(𝑊) imply that Acn interacts

407

with water molecules that develop an intense HBN.

408

5 Conclusion

409

We here showed some insight into the mixtures of water and organic solvent that are based on

410

the consideration of partial molar Raman spectra. The idea behind partial molar Raman spectra is

411

identical to the concept of partial molar thermodynamic properties such as partial molar volume,

412

enthalpy, entropy, energy and others, but in our case only applied to Raman spectra.

413

Figure 6 and what has been discussed in its context show that information can be extracted

414

from partial molar Raman spectra that is not extractable from mixture Raman spectra. The

415

consideration of partial molar Raman spectra of water and of the organic solvent made possible

416

the analysis of the hydrogen bond network that water molecules develop to their neighbors and

417

that organic solvent molecules develop to their neighbors. Because of this, for the mixtures

418

water/methanol and water/ethanol we found three different regimes, in which the interaction

419

mechanisms between water and alcohol changes.

420

In general, the computation of partial molar Raman spectra is not limited to binary mixtures.

421

However, the more constituents are present in the mixture, the more experimental Raman spectra

422

have to be determined in order to compute the partial molar Raman spectra of each compound.

423

What we showed for the hydrogen bond network is possible for any intermolecular interaction

424

that modulates a signal peak in the Raman spectra. We carried out these experiments at a

425

pressure of 0.4 MPa, as some pressure is required to obtain reproducible operational conditions

426

in the microcapillary setup. Due to the low compressibility of the binary systems analyzed, we

427

speculate that the binary systems at ambient pressure would show very similar results.
