Abstract
Liquids are archetypes of disordered systems, yet liquids of polar molecules are locally more ordered than nonpolar molecules, due to the Coulomb interaction based charge ordering phenomenon. Hydrogen bonded liquids, such as water or alcohols, for example, represent a special type of polar liquids, in that they form labile clustered local structures. For water, in particular, hydrogen bonding and the related local tetrahedrality, play an important role in the various attempts to understand this liquid. However, labile structures imply dynamics, and it is not clear how it affects the understanding of this type of liquids from purely static point of view. Herein, we propose to reconsider hydrogen bonding as a charge ordering process. This concept allows us to demonstrate the insufficiency of the analysis of the microscopic structure based solely on static pair correlation functions, and the need for dynamical correlation functions, both in real and reciprocal space. The subsequent analysis allows to recover several aspects of our understanding of hydrogen bonded liquids, but from the charge order perspective. For water, it confirms the jump rotation picture found recently, and it allows to rationalize the contradicting pictures that arise when following the interpretations based on hydrogen bonding. For alcohols, it allows to understand the dynamical origin of the scattering prepeak, which does not exist for water, despite the fact that both these liquids have very similar hydroxyl group chain clusters. The concept of charge ordering complemented by the analysis of dynamical correlation functions appear as a promising way to understand microheterogeneity in complex liquids and mixtures from kinetics point of view.

Abstract
Some binary mixtures, such as specific alcohol-alkane mixtures, or even water-tbutanol, exhibit two humps "camel back" shaped KBI. This is in sharp contrast with usual KBI of binary mixtures having a single extremum. This extremum is interpreted as the region of maximum concentration fluctuations, and usually occurs in binary mixtures presenting appreciable micro-segregation, and corresponds to where the mixture exhibit a percolation of the two species domains. In this paper, it is shown that two extrema occur in binary mixtures when one species forms "meta-particle" aggregates, the latter which act as a meta-species, and have their own concentration fluctuations, hence their own KBI extremum. This "meta-extremum" occurs at low concentration of the aggregate-forming species (such as alcohol in alkane), and is independant of the other usual extremum observed at mid volume fraction occupancy. These systems are a good illustration of the concept of the duality between concentration fluctuations and micro-segregation.

Abstract
The X-ray scattering intensities (I(k)) of linear alkanols OH(CH2)n-1CH3 obtained from experiments (methanol to 1-undecanol) and computer simulations (methanol to 1-nonanol) of different force field models are comparatively studied particularly in order to explain the origin and the properties of the scattering pre-peak in the k-vector range 0.3-1 Å-1. The experimental I(k) values show two apparent features: the pre-peak position kP decreases with increasing n, and more intriguingly, the amplitude AP goes through a maximum at 1-butanol (n = 4). The first feature is well reproduced by all force-field models, while the second shows strong model dependence. The simulations reveal various shapes of clusters of the hydroxyl head-group from n>2. kP is directly related to the size of the meta-objects corresponding to such clusters surrounded by their alkyl tails. The explanation of the AP turnover at n = 4 is more involved in terms of cancellations of atom-atom structure factor S(k) contributions related to domain ordering. The flexibility of the alkyl tails tends to reduce the cross contributions, thus revealing the crucial importance of this parameter in the models. Force fields with all-atom representation are less successful in reproducing the pre-peak features for smaller alkanols, n<6, possibly because they blur the charge ordering process since all atoms bear partial charges. The analysis clearly shows that it is not possible to obtain a model-free explanation of the features of I(k).

Abstract
Non-associative neat liquids benzene, acetone and carbon tetrachloride have been examined via molecular dynamics simulations. Several models of each neat liquid have been simulated, and selected thermodynamic and structural results are presented. However, the models have been compared mainly in terms of their dynamic quantities. Since models are rarely parametrized with the dynamic properties in mind, the principal goal of this work is to present quantities such as the power spectra, rotational correlation functions and relaxation times, diffusion coefficients and self and distinct parts of the van Hove functions in relation to available experimental data. The general trends of the calculated data provide a benchmark for the behavior of neat simple liquids which will be built upon in the cases of mixtures with associative liquids.

Abstract
A two-component interaction model is introduced herein, which allows us to describe macroscopic miscibility with various modes of tunable micro-segregation, ranging from phase separation to micro-segregation, and is in excellent agreement with structural quantities obtained from simulations and the liquid state hypernetted-chain like integral equation theory. The model is based on the conjecture that the many-body correlation bridge function term in the closure relation can be divided into one part representing the segregation effects, which are modeled herein, and the usual part representing random many body fluctuations. Furthermore, the model allows us to fully neglect these second contributions, thus increasing the agreement between the simulations and the theory. The analysis of the retained part of the many body correlations gives important clues about how to model the many body bridge functions for more realistic systems exhibiting micro-segregation, such as aqueous mixtures.

Abstract
The Fick diffusion coefficient matrix of ternary mixtures containing benzene + acetone + three different alcohols, i.e., methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol, is studied by molecular dynamics simulation and Taylor dispersion experiments. Aiming to identify common features of these mixtures, it is found that one of the main diffusion coefficients and the smaller eigenvalue do not depend on the type of alcohol along the studied composition path. Two mechanisms that are responsible for this invariant behavior are discussed in detail, i.e., the interplay between kinetic and thermodynamic contributions to Fick diffusion coefficients and the presence of microscopic heterogeneities caused by hydrogen bonding. Experimental work alone cannot explain these mechanisms, while present simulations on the molecular level indicate structural changes and uniform intermolecular interactions between benzene and acetone molecules in the three ternary mixtures. The main diffusion coefficients of these ternary mixtures exhibit similarities with their binary subsystems. Analyses of radial distribution functions and hydrogen bonding statistics quantitatively evidence alcohol self-association and cluster formation, as well as component segregation. Furthermore, the excess volume of the mixtures is analyzed in the light of intermolecular interactions, further demonstrating the benefits of the simultaneous use of experiment and simulation. The proposed framework for studying diffusion coefficients of a set of ternary mixtures, where only one component varies, opens the way for further investigations and a better understanding of multicomponent diffusion. The presented numerical results may also give an impulse to the development of predictive approaches for multicomponent diffusion.

Abstract
Computer simulation studies of aqueous dimethyl sulfoxyde (DMSO) mixtures show micro-heterogeneous structures, just like aqueous alcohol mixtures. However, there is a marked difference in the aggregate structure of water between the two types of systems. While water molecules form multiconnected globular clusters in alcohols, we report herein that the typical water aggregates in aqueous DMSO mixtures are linear, favouring a 2 hydrogen bond structure per water molecule, and for all DMSO mole fractions ranging from 0.1 to 0.9. This linear-aggregate structure produces a particular signature in the water site-site structure factors, in the form of a pre-peak at k ≈ 0.2-0.8 Å(-1), depending on DMSO concentration. This pre-peak is either absent in other aqueous mixtures, such as aqueous methanol mixtures, or very difficult to see through computer simulations, such as in aqueous-t-butanol mixtures. This difference in the topology of the aggregates explains why the Kirkwood-Buff integrals of aqueous-DMSO mixture look nearly ideal, in contrast with those of aqueous alcohol mixtures, suggesting a connection between the shape of the water aggregates, its fluctuations, and the concentration fluctuations. In order to further study this discrepancy between aqueous DMSO and aqueous alcohol mixture, two models of pseudo-DMSO are introduced, where the size of the sulfur atom is increased by a factor 1.6 and 1.7, respectively, hence increasing the hydrophobicity of the molecule. The study shows that these mixtures become closer to the emulsion type seen in aqueous alcohol mixtures, with more globular clustering of the water molecules, long range domain oscillations in the water-water correlations and increased water-water Kirkwood-Buff integrals. It demonstrates that the local ordering of the water molecules is influenced by the nature of the solute molecules, with very different consequences for structural properties and related thermodynamic quantities. This study illustrates the unique plasticity of water in presence of different types of solutes.

Abstract
AbstractConcentration fluctuations play an important role in the statistical description of the stability of liquids, particularly in the neighborhood of phase transitions. Classical thermodynamics is blind to fluctuations, and statistical thermodynamics is required to fully understand quantities such as the isothermal compressibility or heat capacity, by linking them to fluctuations of appropriate statistical microscopic quantities and showing that they are response functions. This is illustrated by the seminal Kirkwood–Buff theory of solutions. However, the existence of micro-heterogeneous structures, particularly in aqueous mixtures, which leads to large Kirkwood–Buff integrals, suggest that micro-heterogeneity is a form of concentration fluctuation. This interpretation becomes difficult to accept when extrapolated to larger micro-heterogeneous structures such as micellar aggregates in micro-emulsions. By analyzing how different methods, experimental, computer experiments and theoretical approaches deal with the underlying duality behind these two physical manifestations, we put in evidence the need to reconsider the description of liquids by incorporating the description of emergent “objects”, such as the micro-heterogeneous structures from a molecular point of view. On this path, the concept of “molecular emulsion” allows to describe in a unified way all type of disordered liquids, from solutions to the organized liquids of soft matter.

Abstract
Configurational-bias Monte Carlo (CBMC) simulations are used to establish the potential of CuBTC for separation of water/benzene, methanol/benzene, ethanol/benzene, and acetone/benzene mixtures. For operations under pore saturation conditions, the separations are in favor of molecules that partner benzene; this is due to molecular packing effects that disfavor benzene. CBMC simulations for adsorption of quaternary water/methanol/ethanol/benzene mixtures show that water can be selectively adsorbed at pore saturation, making CuBTC effective in drying applications. Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) calculations anticipate the right hierarchy of component loadings but the quantitative agreement with CBMC mixture simulations is poor for all investigated mixtures. The failure of the IAST to provide reasonable quantitative predictions of mixture adsorption is attributable to molecular clustering effects that are induced by hydrogen bonding between water-water, methanol-methanol, and ethanol-ethanol molecule pairs. There is, however, no detectable hydrogen bonding between benzene and partner molecules in the investigated mixtures. As a consequence of molecular clustering, the activity coefficients of benzene in the mixtures is lowered below unity by one to three orders of magnitude at pore saturation; such drastic reductions cannot be adequately captured by the Wilson model, that does not explicitly account for molecular clustering. Molecular clustering effects are also shown to influence the loading dependence of the diffusivities of guest molecules.
