Effect of different sodium halides on the self-association of tertiary butanol in water

Abstract
The molecular self-association of hydrophobic substances is an important process for many biological systems. Here, the authors study the effect of salt on the molecular self-association of t -butanol in water solution, using NMR techniques. They compare the effects of different sodium halides (NaCl, NaBr, and NaI) as a function of their concentration.
