Abstract:Short-chain alcohols at high dilution are among the very few solutes that enhance the anomalous behavior of water, in particular the value of the temperature of maximum density. This peculiar feature, first discovered experimentally in the early sixties, has remained elusive to a full explanation in terms of atomistic models. In this paper, we first introduce a two-site model of tert-butanol in which the interactions involving hydrogen bonding are represented by a Stillinger-Weber potential, following the idea… Show more
