Structural properties of dilute aqueous solutions of dimethylformamide and acetone based on computer simulation

The Monte Carlo simulation of molecular configurations for aqueous solutions ofN,N-dimethylformamide and acetone was carried out. The atom-atom radial distribution functions were determined. The topological properties of the H-bond system were investigated. The concentrations of closed H-bond cycles and the radial distribution functions of their geometric centers were found. It was shown that the local arrangement of molecules and supermolecular assemblies typical of the H-bond network in neat water is retained in the solutions studied.
